Great... It was just me not knowing where to click. We learn something new every day!

Having learned that the box saying "dpdk" is a dropdown, I headed over to my favorite Linux source code browser at Bootlin. And they already have what I was asking for: https://elixir.bootlin.com/dpdk/latest/source

And they call it "dpdk", not "dpdk-stable"... so I support Thomas' suggestion here. Or alternatively: https://code.dpdk.org/ currently redirects to https://code.dpdk.org/dpdk/latest/source. Perhaps it could redirect to https://code.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/latest/source instead.

Now, I have another question: What does code.dpdk.org show for "dpdk" that it does not show for "dpdk-stable"?
