Hello,

Why a such removal?  since daemonnews.org just moved the links to:
http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200010/blueprints.html
and
http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200007/newbus-intro.html

These articles appear to be from 2000. I cannot really assess if they may be
outdated. Maybe we should refer to more fresh articles (fifo)?

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Committed, including blackend's suggestion. 

At the moment neither www.daemonnews.org nor ezine.daemonnews.org responds, 
so perhaps we'll have to revisit this.
