This proposed patch seems quite inconsistent. You have removed the term
"contrib" in some places and not others. I'm fine with just referring
to stuff as "the so-and-so module" without use of the word "contrib",
but if that's what we're going to do then all the references should look
like that.
Also, I see some places where you removed the word contrib *without*
turning the reference into a link. I think that's a seriously bad idea,
since it leaves the reader with no hint of where to look in our
thousand-page-plus manual.
