Well, it is the price we pay for giving out the same url for many years
and then changing it suddenly. :)

I thought of just changing the majordomo, but did a google search and
found that there are still over 26,000 references to this page out on
the web, so decided that a quick non-404 solution was better than none.
'Twould be best as a rewrite at the Apache level, as well as a
majordomo update.

Which reminds me, does anyone monitor the error logs to catch this
and other 404 errors? Magnus caught this one (thanks!), but I am
pretty sure it was from clicking on it, and I doubt he was the
first one to encounter it. Ideally, we should have noticed within
an hour of the first occurance in the logs.
