I totally agree. I've mentioned that before as well- I call them tech notes.
Either way, I personally think they should be on the tech docs site with the
content merged into the search engines. Linking in the docs is bad idea.
Things change over time and the docs should not need to be updated with
information that is not the actually part of the documentation.
