Yes, I read it. Specifically, I read the
"ideal" example in the original:
Reading these files requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader
<http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html>, a free download.
The equivalent with the new product would say something like "You can use
W3C's free editor/browser, Amaya <http://www.w3.org/Amaya/>, to create
HTML, SVG, and MathML documents".
The current suggestion of "Tell me more about Amaya
<http://www.w3.org/Amaya/>: W3C's free editor/browser that lets you
create HTML <http://www.w3.org/TR/html401>, SVG
<http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/>, and MathML <http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/>
documents" is IMO a significant divergence: from a factually
descriptive statement to an imperative verb, for one thing (and despite the
original tip saying not to tell people what they should be doing).
By the way, your suggestion of "Tell me about Amaya", with the verb "Tell
me" included in the link, is also on their list of bad examples. It
therefore sounds like you partly disagree with the current incarnation of
that tip, too.

Also, the tip has diverged significantly from the
original
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-qa/2001Sep/0007.html>, and I
think it has diverged for the worse.
It has not diverged sensibly: did you read the original post, which also
gives very clear reasons that are still valid today (accessibility, content
indexing for search engines...).
It is now even better than this old post, not "worse".
