Description

@StanFromIreland

There are three issues:

  1. Size estimates are off by 1-5 MiB (These are currently updated manually, prior art from last year: Doc tools/templates/download.html missing texinfo format download link #121453)
    The following options exist:

    1. Update them manually
    2. Update them automatically (how and when?)
    3. Remove them
    4. The section may be removed entirely (cc @AA-Turner), but the issue will remain for older versions.
  2. "Unpacking" section, last updated in 2008, has suggestions for old programs, i.e. Info-ZIP (also last updated in 2008).
    Suggestion by @zware: Since most (all?) operating systems are packaged with such utilities, we can remove the section and see if users complain.

  3. The "Problems" section only recommends reporting bugs to [email protected], I think this should be updated to this issue tracker, or at least list both options. Otherwise we can just link to the extensive page.
