And how! As a concrete example, I frequently cite _A Swing Architecture 
Overview_ formerly here:

<http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/architecture/>

Now here:

<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/architecture-142923.html>

Note how the (now missing) embedded images still refer to the old site. 

They (eventually) normalized the API documentation into a convenient 
scheme:

<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/index.html>
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/index.html>
Etc.

I can only hope for the best, while preparing for the worst.
