SparkFun Officially Dropping AdaFruit due to CoC Violation

The URL for this page is very generic and bound to become a 404 page. Thinking about URLs is important to prevent link rot.

Sparkfun redid their site a couple years ago and nuked the links to all product pages of retired products too. A shame. I found someone's archive of the old site at one point, but I've since misplaced it.

Agreed. Because of this (and regardless), archive everything:

The URL for this page is clearly a knee-jerk reaction. I don't expect it will survive the week.

Almost like it's by design.

Is "by design" supposed to imply a negative scheming aspect, or am I reading too much into your comment? This page won't really be relevant to anything after a couple months, so if the link breaks I don't think there's a big problem.
