Exactly my point.

Removing links is not a good idea.
Redundancy is not a bad idea.
Asking people to perform unnecessary searches
is not a good idea.

When Stefan proposed a good patch to HOWTO, he failed
to notice the section immediately above his modification
includes git tree links which are also duplicated in
MAINTAINERS. The duplication is fairly cost-free.
