A good observation.  In the mid-90s the goal was to link to
*everything* from python.org: every article about Python, every
project that used it, every company we heard about.

(This is also why the O'Reilly _Programming Python_ book is so large;
it might have been the only Python book to see print, so Mark Lutz
tried to pack everything that might possibly be of interest into the book.)

Unfortunately, this meant that python.org collected lots of cruft that
was never properly updated; /topics/learn is part of an effort to discard 
old material and freshen up the site.
