The external linking can be solved with redirect rules, as I believe we've done before, and fairly recently. Even if not I think when they see why the break happened they will be happy for the improved user experience. I do think it is important enough a change to warrant breaking the cross-version navigation links. I can imagine a linking scheme that would still work but I'm doubtful that this is important enough to expend the development effort. David J.
