| We are announcing the **deprecation of redirecting root URLs (`/`) to `/README.html`** |

Is this what we're doing? I thought we were serving README.html as the index at /?

I thought the same, and I found I was wrong while writing the blog post:
▶ curl -I https://pytest-bootstrap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
HTTP/2 302
date: Fri, 24 May 2024 15:27:52 GMT
...
location: /en/latest/README.html
Maybe we change this over the years?
