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.

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.
