The page at "Eggs Unlimited" is the canonical, one true, final list of currently
available eggs, as it is machine-generated on every upload of a new
egg version. The corresponding wiki-page is maintained by hand, and such
quickly out of date. I think it is probably better to remove the list from the
wiki and just point to call/cc.org/eggs.

What do others think?
