I agree that the documentation link should be changed.

There are two options:

1. Trust that they will fix it soon and change the link to
   https://icu4c-demos.unicode.org/icu-bin/locexp

2. Despair and remove the link from the documentation.

I suggest that we wait until the end of the June 2021 commitfest and decide then.
If it is still not fixed then, the second option is better - or we move it to
the next commitfest.

Yours,
Laurenz Albe
