It seems like the layout of the manual/ directory for the Emacs web pages changed in an (IMO) odd way a few months ago, and I'm wondering if it was intentional. There used to be pages like this for all the manuals: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/mairix.html A short index page that links to the various formats for each manual. A few months ago, most of those pages were changed to look like this: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/ses.html No longer an index page, but a duplicate of the html_mono/ version. Was this a mistake? This change left no index pages for the different versions of the various manuals. It looks like (based on the log messages in the CVS repo) this was reported as a bug to the GNU webmasters, and they added some new index pages (emacs-formats.html etc) in an attempt to fix this, but only for the 3 main manuals. Should this all just be reverted? As it stands, I can't see where the html_node/ versions for the non-main manuals are linked anymore, and the (large) html_mono pages are duplicated, and pointed to by default.
