Follow-up Comment #6:
The discussion (with its scope broadened at my prompting) didn't really seem
to lead anywhere definitive. In the past year or two I've groped in the
direction of documenting URLs as "historical" in a few cases, but the number
has been so few that it might be exaggerating to call it a trend.
For now, I'd like to state a rule that we shouldn't have broken URLs in man
page text unless they are annotated as "historical". This way a user is
prompted to use the Wayback Machine of the Internet Archive or whatever other
resource they have access to at the time they read it.
Resolving. There's no ChangeLog entry and no bug-closer because as noted in
comment #1, the URL was already dropped from groff Git by the time the ticket
was files.
