 When double checking, I'm not certain it's sending the 404 header, but
 it's certainly a missing page error message.

 I asked about this at [http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/240777
 /wordpress-org-support-topics-returning-404 WordPress Stackexchange] and
 one other person commented "...search results for topics on WordPress.org
 have been 404ing like crazy lately." This might be normal page attrition,
 but it might also be an actual defect.

 Today, I can't get that link to show up in a Google search.
