They still will be.  However, now, instead of being in several different
places in the Handbook they are now in one article which can have a
consistent URL which we can point people to.  This article will appear
on the CD as part of the regular documentation set.

I'd also suggest tweaks to the release process to automatically install
the text version of this file as /CREDITS or /CONTRIBUTORS in the same
way that we currently have a /COPYRIGHT file.
