Hi Greg/Linus,

FYI, there was a discussion about that on lkml and linux-doc.

On that time, we considered 3 alternatives for those well-known
files:

1) just rename;
2) use symlink;
3) keep a short text telling that the file was moved, replacing
   the previous contents.

After discussions, we end by using (3) for a short group of files:
	README
	Documentation/CodingStyle
	Documentation/SubmittingPatches

From my side, while I think all alternatives work fine, my personal
preference in short term[1] is for symlinks, just because it makes
easier to distinguish what files still need conversion.

[1] In long term, it probably makes more sense to get rid of those
symlinks at Documentation/* and use a different content at README file,
for example, adding references there to the main books at the Kernel
documentation, e. g. something like Documentation/00-INDEX.

So, if you prefer symlinks instead, feel free to merge the enclosed
patch. It is using soft symlinks, with I guess works better than
hard symlinks.

Thanks,
Mauro

[PATCH RFC] docs-rst: use symlinks for well-known renamed doc files

There was a discussion about that while reviewing commit 186128f75392
("docs-rst: add documents to development-process"), about what to do
with well-known documentation files.

On that time, we considered 3 alternatives:

1) just rename the files;
2) use symlink on the previous location;
3) keep a short text telling that the file was moved, replacing
   the previous file contents.

We end by using (3) for a short group of files:
	README
	Documentation/CodingStyle
	Documentation/SubmittingPatches

Commit 852d21ae1fcd ("docs: add back 'Documentation/Changes' file
(as symlink)") added another one (Documentation/Changes), but as a
symlink.

Let's standardize this by using the same logic on those
well-known renamed docs, replacing those files by symlinks.
