I am not sure that we are good at archiving. Example with Subversion links in the bug tracker:
https://bugs.python.org/issue2001#msg123254 "Added the missing CSS file in r86971." The revision link is: https://hg.python.org/lookup/r86971 Which redirects to the following HTTP 404 (not found) error: http://svn.python.org/view?view=revision&revision=86971 We have a mapping of Subversion commits to... Mercurial commits, but the Mercurial server doesn't use it. Then bugs will migrate to GitHub. I already expect that we will loose some data in the long term... I commonly have to dig into Python history to understand the rationale of a change made 10 years ago, if not 15 or 20 years ago. It is becoming more and more painful at each migration...
