I don't mind having those four, but our current About display has other things in it too, and I don't want to just discard them. There are 4 files in the root directory of the Emacs tree that exactly correspond to these 4 pages: AUTHORS, COPYING, BUGS and CONTRIBUTE. I am not sure that all 4 of those are the right way to handle these 4 commands.
