Why can't we include documentation in the system? All the other
documentation for the system is included in the system. I find the
idea that we can't include the most critical file available to
understanding how to build packages in the package tree rather
seriously disturbing.
*I* forget where to find the thing on a regular basis, and I'm not
stupid.
Besides, having it in source control means other people can fix it.
