Yeah, sure! But documentation guys already have their plates full
with man pages and guide, don't want to ask them to start collecting
all these miscellaneous files just yet (base/
{HACKING,LICENSE,README,porgtmgr/ReleaseProcess,doc/INTERNALS,doc/
TODO.txt} and others). But it surely is our goal to remove them and
have all documentation consolidated in a single place, eventually; in
the mean time we need to fill the void somehow ;-)
It is my opinion, though, that even after we collect them into trunk/
doc or whatever, we should still keep them around as placeholders with
nothing more but links pointing readers to the new location of the
information.
