corrigendum: elsevier and elsevier-bib packages

i wrote:

the elsevier and elsevier-bib packages have been superseded by elsarticle. however, elsevier's web site seems to be accruing updates to the obsolete packages, but elsevier seem unwilling to upload newer versions to ctan.

the ctan team has therefore deleted both packages, in order to minimise confusion.

since posting this message, i have received mail from the relevant person within elsevier. he assures me that i was wrong to think that changes were appearing for the elsevier* packages.

nevertheless, given that the packages are long obsolete, he concurs with the decision to remove them from ctan.

my apologies are due to elsevier for the misinformation.
