Continuous Privacy Policy

This is absurd, right?:

Alpine's privacy policy is a living, online only, document, which can be found at http://alpine.x10host.com/privacy.html. By following the previous link, Alpine will connect to an external server, and will download it and display it for you. Please take some time to read it and understand it. Since the Privacy Policy could be amended to take into consideration new additions to Alpine, please check it periodically.

A classical UNIX tool now has an online-only privacy policy that I have to proactively check periodically?

It's OK though, we're in modern times: the link doesn't work.
