I noticed on an older issue in the tracker that the following deep, in-development link is broken: http://docs.python.org/dev/2.6/library/multiprocessing.html (in comment http://bugs.python.org/issue4711#msg78151 ) Can something be done to preserve those deep links, or is it not worth worrying about? I'm not sure how prevalent such links are or when they were valid (and when they stopped working, assuming they once did). --Chris
