Background: #2614
The plugin readme file standard is currently linked to from six places:
* [https://wordpress.org/plugins/developers/#readme Developer Information]
page in the directory.
* [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/ WordPress.org]
page in Plugin Developer Handbook.
* [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/planning-your-
plugin/ Planning Your Plugin] page in Plugin Developer Handbook.
* [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/how-to-use-
subversion/ How to Use Subversion] page in Plugin Developer Handbook.
* [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/how-your-readme-
txt-works/ How Your Readme.txt Works] page in Plugin Developer Handbook.
* [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/plugin-developer-
faq/ Plugin Developer FAQ] page in Plugin Developer Handbook.
Some of the handbook links used the old
`https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/readme.txt` URL, which redirects to
https://wordpress.org/plugins/developers/, but not directly to the file or
at least to the "Readme Files" section.
Others used the outdated
[https://wordpress.org/plugins/files/2016/06/readme.txt
2016/06/readme.txt] link instead of the current one:
[https://wordpress.org/plugins/files/2017/03/readme.txt
2017/03/readme.txt].
I've just updated the handbook links to point to
https://wordpress.org/plugins/developers/#readme, which links to the
latest file. However, it would help to have a direct URL to the file, like
https://wordpress.org/latest.zip.
