I meant add the NEW archive location to the non-crawlable. So,
(desperate) people could still find it by manually browsing, but no
search will return those.

I would not have gotten this far without JavaDocs. A lot of
UpdateRequestProcessors have their settings described in JavaDoc only.
Plus, the only way to find about new classes is by crawling the
JavaDoc hierarchy (which also has issues). I think it is a real issue
for beginner=>intermediate upgrade.

http://piwik.org/ ? The web analytics is incredibly valuable. If there
is an issue with using it, it should be worked through. It allows to
make actionable decisions based on real usage.
