So are you saying that we should put our trust into the undisclosed 
algorithms that try to recover relevance from random documents 
throughout the web for profit rather than the person managing the IETF 
website?

Neither of those is as obscure as the location of the actual list of 
internet standards. But who cares. Either someone will fix the problem 
and the world will a slightly better place, although probably not to a 
statistically significant degree, the problem won't be fixed and at 
least the link is in the mailing list archives, or someone will provide 
a good reason for the missing link and we'll all learn something. None 
of those possibilities are improved by discussing the matter further 
without the benefit of new facts.
