This proposed change will have the following effects:

- Usability is greatly reduced if using web clients which don't support
Javascript (yes some people still use clients like links and w3m from the
terminal)
- On some user setups Javascript is disallowed for security reasons so content
will no longer be accessible
- Breaks content indexing for some search engines

The general trend of making web pages heavily dependent on Javascript and thus
unusable for some of us is frankly sad and I would not have expected to see
this happen in a GNU project wiki.
Please don't break the documentation in this way.
