But this particular file even has an override in the script looking
for dead references, which together with the content of the overal
contents makes me thing the dangling reference is somewhat intentional.

Fair enough, yeah.
I think what I found confusing was that the file had a precise
(directly actionable in a file browser, if you will) path. If it was
just listed as a filename, or a project name, it might have been more
obvious that one shouldn't expect to find it within the kernel tree
and just go look it up in your favorite search engine.
The right incantation to get your hands on that file is a web search,
not a local file navigation, and to my perception a full and seemingly
valid path pointed in the direction of doing the wrong thing.
It's not a huge deal, obviously, and it may be that I was the only one
confused by that. If so, feel free to disregard the patch.
Thanks,
