+Deleted answers:
+ +Label outszwrng
+(remember, as of the previous release, links to "old" labels remain
+valid, pointing to an answer that is as near relevant as possible)
+
+Web interface:
+ The initial list of questions no longer gives a URL containing all
+ the answers -- Google was returning that for every match, which
+ didn't help!
+ All links to CTAN files, directory .zips and directories for
+ browsing are now http, and there's no longer any mention of .tar.gz
+ archives of CTAN directories (since they're no longer available)
