thanks. it's a good cleanup.. I am pretty sure I did it at some
point.. but i guess i never pushed it.
though i remember wondering whether we should just delete that
completely, since chances are that it won't be well maintained.. and
we have the global index anyways
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/genindex.html

alternatively, if it's really useful we could write a small extension
to generate it, that shouldn't be too hard.
