Actually, that is static, just a different way of organising them. The way
it looks now, every article still has a static link. Both old (archived) and
new (active) articles. Basically, the change boils down to a more
sophisticated search system (good), a different way of organising the
information (whatever) and a changed and harder to find static URL for each
article (bad).

Well, that's more or less how the Newton Info Library was/is organised...
