Research direction

Start by inspecting mirrors-core-latest-redir.html and mirrors-solr-latest-redir.html, then read the linked SOLR-7413 issue for related context. Determine how the latest-version redirect pages are maintained during releases; done should be a defined replacement that avoids manually changing these pages for each new version.
