If we think it might be nice for new people to learn about the IETF and perhaps start joining mailing lists and reading and writing drafts before we old pharts all die off, perhaps not. It is my impression that there are not many active IETF participants who are unable to bookmark the tools link page, or do something like your local link page hack, but who knows, there are a lot of WGs I don't go to.
