[racket-dev] Package system quickstart section?

Just to confirm what I mean, the live/public
http://docs.racket-lang.org/ site right now has links to the
non-existent /planet2/* tree.

For example if you do a Search Manuals for "raco pkg", which gives this page:

http://docs.racket-lang.org/search/index.html?q=raco%20pkg

Then the first of two results is:

    raco pkg  in planet2

And both the "raco pkg" and "planet2" links go to /planet2/* and 404.
(Plus it sounds like the second, topic link should be labeled
something other than "planet2", such as "pkg" or "Package
Management".)
