I am sorry, but this makes the archives unavailable to Google,
which is just plain unaccetable. We might as well not have them
at all, our search engine on WineHQ is basically useless for
searching the archives (it fails to do even a shitty job,
whereas the same query on Google will get you what you want
virtually every time).
