doc: stable-api-nonsense missing link

[Federico Vaga]

Hi,

in this document

Documentation/process/stable-api-nonsense.rst

there is this note:

<insert link to leech comment from Andrew and Linus here>

Is it possible to get it fixed with the proper link? I searched for it without 
success. If that comment is impossible to find I will send a patch to remove 
that note, but first I wanted to ask you if you know where to get it.

That sounds like a question for Greg (copied).  Given that this document
predates the Git era, though, I suspect that whatever reference that was
meant to be is long since lost.

It was referring to an email thread about this topic that happened at
the time I wrote the document.  Let me try to dig through my archives,
but given that it was written well over a decade ago, I don't know if I
will be able to find it easily...

thanks,

I can't find it at the moment, so taking out the text in <...> is fine
with me.
