Re: remove twitter links

In a situation like this, data matters.

I think you would find that the two links at the bottom of that page get
about zero clicks. Who has time to scroll through the wall of text that is
the front page vs what is likely the two most clicked links (documentation,
download)?

+1 on updating because that is correct
-1 on removing as it would remove a contact point
+1 on having a subsection in the Community section that lists all social
accounts
