No sure if you read this whole thread, but Florian set a redirect on the 
link and it is fine now. I have closed the bug.

The jury is still out as to whether we need the readme on our website -- 
I would vote to remove it. I will take this up again once things slow 
down and we get more time to decide.

Thanks for your info which all makes sense.

Cheers,

Marc
