I had considered that, but then I haven't seen any progress. The site
has been back up for a while, but there doesn't seem to have been much
advancement in restoring the documentation in question. I also
haven't had any feedback from kernel.org with regards to any plan to
restore these docs. I guess this can be revisited in the new year to
see if the situation has changed.
But as for the sun.com links, I don't see those coming back at all.
Those have either been relocated to a secret uncrawlable location, or
it's been deleted. They did exist at least until June this year

but have since been purged for some unknown reason.
