I just found it a pain some hours ago that list archives from 1998 had
dead URLs to the egcs list archives originally on www.cygnus.com and it
was necessary to look at messages with similar numbers in the current
version of the archives to work out what message a dead link was referring
to. (archive.org didn't have the old version of the archives to provide a
shortcut.) It's routinely useful to recall some message or discussion
from one of the egcs/GCC lists at any time since 1997 and then search and
bring up that particular message, and anything breaking URLs or hindering
searching is a pain in that regard.
(The logs should give real statistics about the number of accesses to each
month's archives.)
