In-depth discussion

  • GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT: please have a look at your PRs and review :)

Documentation of versions from the pre-RTD era

  • How to make e.g. 2.14 docs available on readthedocs?
  • Need only comparability with present versions
    • timers, kernel options for 4g benchmarking
    • main purpose is that developers have access to docs
    • papers reference 2.14 documentation
  • Can also go to 3.1 docs/Benchmarking page and refer backwards, instead of fixing ancient releases.
