I have no real objection to this, but the original links are not broken
at all, and still work just fine for me here, don't they for you as
well?
So why are they being changed?

At the time of submission of this patch, It didn't work for me. (It
returned http://storm.he.net/cgi-bin/error404)
That's why I searched for the updated links and sent a patch.
But, It works fine now.
Now, its your wish, whether or not to use this patch :)
