    Merged PR fixing the broken developer-reference link in docs/intro.md; commit 3360bff71 appears in docs/intro.md history and references this Launchpad bug.

  • Related To: canonical/snapcraft#1227 (confidence 55%)

    Later commit 7c966e0f7 removed the in-repo docs and linked out to snappy-docs, so the file originally patched no longer carries the text.
