Its usefulness was marginal, and it was outdated (bzip2 is hardly "the
format with the best compression rate" anymore; maybe among the formats
we list as supported, but definitely not in general).

but user who need them would generally not be able to find them there.
(They likely would find them more easily with a web search.)
In the end, this is just one more page we should maintain but don't, so let's simply get rid of it.
