but, as Herbert pointed out, these links point to the testsuite
repository explicitly (deadbeef/testsuite). If there did not do that,
they would be dead already (e.g. if someone would write them manually
and not paying attention to that).

And since they are qualified by the repository they point to, they will
continue to point to the (then uncontinued, but unmodified) testsuite
repository. Which is – I believe – sufficient to make sense out of old
tickets.

The links to the ghc repository are of course unchanged, there is no
plan to rewrite history here.

Greetings,
Joachim
