Pandas docs outage triggers GitHub Pages migration

Open-source projects often treat donated infrastructure as “set and forget,” but this incident shows docs reliability needs explicit ownership and failover paths.

• –Pandas’ sponsors page lists OVH as an in-kind docs host, so an operational lapse there can still become a user-facing outage.
• –The proposed `gh-pages` migration keeps deployment closer to core project workflows and reduces dependence on a single external box.
• –Historical docs versions may remain incomplete until old build artifacts are restored or rebuilt.
