Remove Known Limitations page on v26.1 and v25.4 as follows:

  • Move all inline content on known-limitations.md into dedicated includes.
    • Embed those includes on appropriate feature docs.
    • In one or two cases, the content didn't quite resemble a known limitation, so it was reincorporated as prescriptive guidance.
  • Update existing links to the Known Limitations page to point to those distributed includes.
    • Also redirect known-limitations.md to the Releases page. (Open to other suggestions.)
  • Delete known-limitations.md.
  • Remove Known Limitations from the sidebar. This probably removes it for all versions, but I feel it's OK?

I'm thinking we should have some note saying something like 'Known Limitations are now exclusively listed on applicable feature pages, and are no longer aggregated into a single page'.

If so, we could re-add the Known limitations heading after this, and just include that phrase there - just for v25.4 and v26.1.

WDYT?

If you go with my suggestion on v25.4.0.md to re-add the Known Limitations section to the What's New page [with a simple note under it about the change], then I think it's better to redirect to that, like this:

  - destination: releases/v25.4.md#v25-4-0-known-limitations                                                 
    sources: ['known-limitations.md']                                                                        
    versions: ['v25.4']                                                                                      
                                                                                                             
  - destination: releases/v26.1.md#v26-1-0-known-limitations                                                 
    sources: ['known-limitations.md']                                                                        
    versions: ['v26.1']       

If not, then maybe it's better to just redirect to a search for Known Limitations: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/search?query=%22Known+Limitations%22
