Actually, yes it was. x86 linux/gnu eubins should have been restarted
before I had made this commit,
but a mistake on my part (forgetting to add the host to known_hosts,
causing a prompt to show up) prevented them from getting uploaded.

Agreed. Both the website and the documentation should use the more
neutral term eubins.

I'm going to change the build system so it will
check nightly, but only generate a new eubin if there's been a commit
since the last eubin was built.

Considering the currently low level of commits, this will probably mean
that eubins will no longer be uploaded once every night, but more
sparingly.

I think the original commit, 5614:1cc24f60c63e, was a mistake as well.
It should not have removed the entire section, but altered it to use the
more neutral term and possibly noted that eubins were not active at the
time (same as the website did).

Removing the entire section increased the possibility that - should
eubins be restored in the future - everyone would have forgotten to
update the docs with the latest eubin information.
