I don't think that is wise. The document itself promises that the permanent URL is http://codesourcery.com/cxx-abi/ . No other URL is promised to be permanent. I think we should link to the permanent URL as long as it continues to work. Ian

Is it fine to refer to the new mentorembedded.github.com address? (Linking to a page that redirects makes verifying the accuracy of links tricky.) Gerald
Gerald -- I think that the GitHub address is more canonical at this point, so I would recommend that. That said, I would expect the codesourcery.com address to work "forever"; Mentor IT has set up permanent redirects for addresses from that domain.
