+1.  It should have been obvious just from the spelling of this URL that
it wasn't intended to be a long term stable location.  Digging in the
git history shows we've already updated it twice, and I wonder how many
changes there were that we didn't notice.

Just reverting bbd3bdba3 seems appropriate to me.

+1.

If we want to keep a set of such links, probably the wiki is a better place as more people can easily fix them there.
