I can add the link, but it's too date specific in it's
current form. Is there a way anyone knows of to link to
lwn in a non-specific manner (and have it re-direct)?

Currently, we have:

   http://lwn.net/2000/0817/dists.php3

What I'd like to have/use as a reference (and have it re-direct):

   http://lwn.net/latest/dists.php3

something of that nature. Otherwise, I suppose we could point
to other distribution info sites, such as kernerlnotes.org,
linux.com, etc.
