At least, it is for the web tree. The docs are built if you do the appropriate "make" inside the www/en/ tree. I had a choice of either chaning all the URLs over to the new structure, or preserving the old URLs, and putting up with the inconsistency. I chickened out, and decided that it wasn't worth breaking everyone's bookmarks for. At some point in the future we'll probably switch to installing things in to the 'right' place, and using symlinks. After doing that for a while we'll start putting in messages that pop up if the 'old' URL is used. And after doing that for a few months (and monitoring the error logs to see how often these pages are requested) we'll cut over to a new scheme completely. This'll probably start happening some time next February, when I get a bit more spare time.
