Hi, According to the EOL page of Tomcat 8.5 ( https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-85-eol.html) after support ends, "the links to the 8.5.x documentation will be removed from tomcat.apache.org "
It makes sense that this policy was/is applied to previous EOL versions as well. However, while the pages aren't listed, the documentation for Tomcat 7 for example can be directly accessed through https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/index.html. If this is purely for archival purposes, an EOL warning should at least be added to the page headers. The bigger problem is that these pages are indexed by search engines like Google and sometimes appear above current documentation in search results. This can make it confusing for newcomers (like me). I think a <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> tag should be added to the outdated documentation pages so that this can be avoided. If the above is fine, I would like to raise a PR with the changes. Sincerely, Manak Bisht
