Dunno if there is a plan but 'git grep' showed at least a trend.

I think you are comparing apples with oranges here. The main site
(intel.com) still exists last time I checked.

Could be. But could also be the opposite: not using an alternative will
eat all the traffic and increase maintenance duty, so it will be shut
down because of too much work. Who has the better crystal ball?

Still, the good thing is that the site is *now* backed by the Wayback
Machine. I needed to request the backup because I wanted the link.

That all being said, I don't care much which link we use. I just wanted
to address review comments.
