[racket-dev] Package system quickstart section?

BTW all of http://docs.racket-lang.org/planet2/* is 404 for me. The
help index is linking to that.

It looks like all that is actually under http://docs.racket-lang.org/pkg/* ?

e.g.:
http://docs.racket-lang.org/planet2/Package_Concepts.html   => 404
http://docs.racket-lang.org/pkg/Package_Concepts.html        => OK.
