Comment(by otto42):

 Why so complicated, and for so little benefit? I mean, all that just to
 avoid putting one extra line in a file?

 The current code in core does not look at the readme file at all. Adding a
 parsing mechanism just to avoid having an extra line is overkill.

 Plus, having a separate link makes more sense for tracking reasons as well
 as for ppl who may not want links in certain locations. It's the simplest
 and most straightforward approach. A whole complicated set of rules is not
 necessary.
