That was why we thought not to bother renaming to Archive; esp. since
archiving is usually just per page rather than tracking a history.
In this case, if having the full history per release is useful to
writers, then it does make sense to rename following a common scheme:
Docs/Beats/Devel for F10 => Archive:Devel_beat_F10
or => Archive:Relnotes-Devel_beat_F10
Not sure ... since 'beat' is used by >1 group now (as it should!), do
we want to start identifying the release notes beats separately?
Yes, but I would use full words to improve search results, since
"relnotes" is a jargon thing.
"Archive:F10_Release_notes_Devel_beat"
Note all underscores, since I'm pretty sure that hyphens have a
deleterious effect on searching.
