I thought there was some concern that we were deoptimizing by having
multiple copies of substantially the same page. For something like
release-9-6-10.html, there's no value in having it appear in three
or four different places. You can't even argue that the later
branches might be more up-to-date: that text is *the same*, modulo
toolchain-forced markup differences, in every branch; or at least
if it isn't it means I screwed up.
