Good (Edit) point! It's good that the web accepts dead links by design, we can't expect perfection from our distributed information, but it seems that the bitrot of information is too high compared to the information storage tech

He and his parents were victims of Mao's cultural revolution (like millions of others) - and he was forced into agricultural labour instead of attending high school. Amazing cinderella story. A real academic hero.

Tool devs should get to decide on functionality - and then it's up to the distro maintainers to make aliases and organize well into their distros. Here it seems that the former are encroaching on the latter, for historical reasons? B
