If this URL timed out, it would be a problem.

This URL shouldn't really be used, unless you're really curious and
want to see all releases all the way back to 2.0.0. Rather, the URL
for a series (https://launchpad.net/zope2/2.11) or for a specific
release (https://launchpad.net/zope2/+milestone/2.11.4-final) should
be used.

Edge runs the in-development, aka what is it going to look like in one
month from now, aka the next version of Launchpad and you shouldn't
generally use it, unless you're part of the "Launchpad Beta Testers"
team, in which case you get automatically redirected to it, or if you
want to try out in-development features, or someone cut-and-pasted the
URL and forgot to remove 'edge' from it. *wink*.
