So yeah, I think cleaning up and modernizing all this should be in-
scope for the Change, thanks for highlighting it.
This is already in motion as part of the work being done by the design
team on the website, it's unrelated to this change and has been in
motion for some time. All the arm/alt pages are going away and all
arches for each artifact will just be on the edition/spin/lab pages.
