Re: Where did the GHC API go?

Too late. We had a stable link, I used it, Google used it, blog posts
were written that linked to it, I've emailed my wife links to it, I've
put them in Word documents, I've posted them on internal intranets.
You can't create a link, put content behind it, then move the content
- it just breaks the whole web.

And incidentally, the _ghc_docs_ themselves continue to use thesestable links to library docs, most of which are currently broken.

All of the following links from documentation for ghc-6.12.1 give a404 Not Found. (I do not claim the list is exhaustive.)
