<div>If pages move - redirects are the only way.</div><div><br></div><div>In fact - why not remove those broken pages regardless - they will eventually get removed from indexing. For people that link to them - 404 page with a useful guide on akin to the <a href="http://docs.openstack.org/index.html">docs.openstack.org/index.html</a>.</div>

<div><div><br>I still have a nagging feeling that we need to replace the Google CSE with the one the Foundation is using for <a href="http://www.openstack.org" target="_blank">www.openstack.org</a>, and am chasing that as well. </div>
