[racket] Should raco-linked collections still work in v6.0?

Yes, the intent is that you should be able to take your time to convert
from links to packages.

Like Jay, I wonder whether you ran `raco setup` after `raco link` ---
in contrast to `raco pkg install`, which runs `raco setup` as needed
for you. A linked collection's libraries can be found for running
without a `raco setup`, while documentation cross-referencing would
depend on `raco setup`.

(Jay: I think it's no longer the case that `raco setup` as run by
`make` in a repo checkout ignores your links. If I understand what you
have in mind and if I remember correctly, that's a change relative to
v5.3.6.)
