I noticed on an older issue in the tracker that the following deep,
in-development link is broken:

http://docs.python.org/dev/2.6/library/multiprocessing.html

(in comment http://bugs.python.org/issue4711#msg78151 )

Can something be done to preserve those deep links, or is it not worth
worrying about?  I'm not sure how prevalent such links are or when
they were valid (and when they stopped working, assuming they once
did).
