applied, thanks!

w.r.t. to the links to vendor sites: Alexander argued that it has some
merits to link directly, not some archived version, so that users get an
up-to-date info, which seems valid to me.
I mentioned that we could go for providing both, just like often done for
external references in, e.g., Wikipedia - for example:
"https://example.com/real-url (https://archive.org/archived-url[archive])"

But, let's keep it as is for now, Alexander agreed on submitting those
URLs still to web.archive.org so that we can at least check in the future
to what content we linked here.

Oh, and this made me think that it would be nice to have a test for
checking all linked URLs, i.e., make a request and see if that
immediately return HTTP OK 200 code, otherwise output the url as
possibly broken or in need of update. This could be a simple make
target, albeit not sure what tooling to use for scan for urls and
query them, some simple perl script might be enough.
