I don't like the text, the first sentence really much sounds like the entire downloads directory is obsolete and people should also get the sources from GitLab, which is very much not the case. Can you please change it to something more like: "IMPORTANT: Binaries and documentation archives are NOT updated on lilypond.org anymore, please refer to releases on GitLab instead." (the link is good though, I wasn't sure if that is possible) *If* we want to say something about the source tarballs, I believe it should only be mentioned in the topmost directory and not below "binaries/" to not confuse average users. We may even want to vary the message to only talk about the documentation archives in "binaries/documentation/" etc.
