I agree.  I've always thought this file was a bad idea, for the reasons 
you describe.

If we really want a file here, it should be a symlink to something that 
is also served via HTTP, so that we can put it in the wwwdocs 
repository.  Furthermore, the data about the number of bytes in the 
downloads should be either removed, or automatically generated.
