So I had to ponder on this one a bit...saying "continually updated" is
pretty amusing for a document that leads off with:

		  Last updated on June 24, 2007.

In the end, I think this alternative option is the better one.  We don't
want to turn kernel-docs.rst into yet another out-of-date index for the
rest of Documentation/, and the removal of the external URL takes away the
only bit of additional information that this entry offers.
