This is an OK change, I guess...a working link is better than a broken
one.  That said, I do have to wonder whether this link needs to be
preserved at all.  That paper was good advice 19 years ago, but I'm not
sure it has much to tell people in 2021; the days of having to tell
developers to think about SMP systems are past.

I'll apply this for now, though.

Thanks,

jon
