The 2.x stuff comprises about 650KB in the repository and whatever that translates into in the distribution. I cannot imagine that anyone who only has 3.x and no 2.x version would have any interest in the 2.x history. And of course, the complete 2.x history will always be available with the latest 2.7.z. And the cover page for 3.x could even say so and include a link. So why not remove it from the 3.2 release (and have two separate pages for the online version)?

I think there is value in the older whatsnew docs.  The provide a readable introduction to various features and nicely augment the plain docs which can be a little dry.

+1 for keeping the links as-is.  Removing them takes away a resource and gains nothing.
