Why are we putting such a link directly in the documentation, where
it's really hard to change it if we have to, since it's out in many
versions already? Shouldn't we be working to remove such dependencies
rather than add more of them?
Also, are we sure github gist urls are permanent? I know the temporary
gists aren't, but I guess maybe the logged-in ones are?
For longer terms, perhaps we should set up an URL forwarder or
something that the docs can link through in the cases where we really
need this, so we can more easily update the URLs?
