I have left out the ones I have researched replacements for.  In many
case the old document is gone, and replaced my a number of new
documents.

It is a common thing for a webmaster to reorganise a website. The
catch is the links into that website then stop working.  Ideally the
webmaster should set  up permanent redirects from the old URL to the
new to inform everyone of where their old pages went and to keep the
old links working.  However, companies such as Oracle do not do this.
They prefer to force the hundreds of websites that link into them to
individually research the links with Google to  find the new ones or
delete them.  Obviously the total amount of work is thousands of times
greater, but they don't care. It is not them doing the work, it is the
companies who send them  business. Mindless next-quarter capitalism
demands this sort of behaviour.
