  Please don't get into the habit of thinking that the web is a convenient
way to access documentation.  Starting up ppp and a multi-megabyte web
browser to read a plain text file over a 14.4 modem connection is not my idea
of convenient.  Also, I oppose the idea of distributing the pieces of the
documentation in different locations, when it would be a lot more convenient
for users and maintainers to have it all in one place.  It's nice from a PR
point of view to have a useful web site, but please don't weaken the rest
of the system to achieve that goal.

  Why not keep the master copy of Packages.txt in the cvs tree and have the
web copy automatically updated from it?
