Why it's legacy?

If I want docs for v12.2, then I don't care whether its generated by 
sphinx or texinfo.

Just using a different documentation system won't render the very 
content legacy?

I think it's a good idea to keep the old docs under their known URLs.


BTW, also search results from search engines are all 404.
