Indeed. BTW: the reason why I'm pissed off is because it badly
reflects on the project image, all the more since we have a new
release out, and that ppl are gonna hit a lot of 404 errors in the
next days.
We are clearly gonna look like incompetent folks if this issue doesn't
get fixed meanwhile.... but I'm very unoptimised since this problem
has been notified several times and apparently nothing changed.
