One thing I beg of you:

Don't break links to old versions of documents!

(I realise this requires building a redirect forest. But we're talking 20 years of MS documentation.)

No, we will not break links. We are doing graceful redirects from MSDN/TechNet to the new site.

Thanks for that. I have come to expect all MSDN links to rot almost immediately, and it'll be nice to see that stop happening.
