That would be a problem _only_ if these "additional help pages" are
of importance for new users.  I do not think things that come from
Documentation/technical and ARTICLES (in Documentation/Makefile)
qualify as such.

I'd be perfectly happy as long as all documents are reachable from
git.html in html-fied documentation (the man pages have equivalent
cross references, I think).
