Yep.  I agree it's important to keep focused on the goal here.  
If the information at external sites pointed to by this list is
wrong, incomplete, or out-of-date, this helps no one and the 
Cygwin community doesn't have any direct action it can take to 
correct the data point.  Keeping the information within the project,
this information can be corrected directly as required by the 
Cygwin community.  That helps everyone.  What's not to like? ;-)

In this case the information provided could possibly be considered more
confusing than what is already available, too.  So, submitting
documentation for review and incorporation would theoretically weed out
the confusing or incorrect parts.
