These days, however, search engines fill that role much more efficiently, so retire the manually-maintained list. The list of front-ends and tools on the Git wiki rates perhaps a distant second to search engines, and may still have value, so retain a reference to it. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine --- New in v2. This is plopped at the end of the series, rather than being incorporated into it more fully, so that it can be dropped easily in case it is decided that there is still some merit to having a manually- maintained list.
