VS Extensibility

The MSDN documentation broken links to “PAVE Visual Studio Extension Deployment”

MSDN documentation about VSX has improved a lot in the past years and now you have HOWTO examples, walkthroughs, etc. However, it seems to me that it still needs improvement in some areas such as navigation and attention to the details. For example, if you read the topics on VSIX deployment, you will find links to a subject “PAVE Visual Studio Extension Deployment.”:

PAVE

Apart that nobody knows what “PAVE” means, it happens that the links are broken and you get “We’re sorry—the topic that you requested is no longer available.”:

However, if you select Visual Studio 2010 in the Other Versions dropdown you get the content:

PAVEVS2010

And the lack of attention or care that I mentioned: this was reported months ago and nobody has fixed it:
