What is the cause of this need to regenerate this archive? Can we address this?

[Ajay-singh1]

Yeah! Sure as v1.27 is archived we have to generate the banners for the same

For reference:-

v1.27 doesn't have a banner

See for v1.26

Maintainers can do this through the make command say for v1.27 make build-old-archive-1.27.0 to regenerate the banner for archive documentation.

And yeah we can also see the version selector drop-down on 1.27 and not on other archives say v1.26 and v1.25

Doesn't conflict with #16973

[dhawton]

Can we tie this in to the release process? I don't like that there's an undocumented manual step required as part of the release flow. It would be nice if this was just part of the prepare-release that adds the banner when the archive is created. It will end up getting missed

[Ajay-singh1]

@dhawton Yeah it would be nice because this creates an extra manual step. I'll look into the scripts.
