This makes sense to me. We can write on the Policies page that its 
content will change over time if we want to make that absolutely clear, 
but linking to an overview page with links to relevant policies sounds 
way better to me than basically saying "We have policies, please look 
them up yourself".
If people are supposed to look them up themselves, neither we nor they 
can be sure that they have read all the relevant ones.
Besides, such an overview page should be available for practical reasons 
anyway. We should not have people sift through the Wiki in search for 
policies which may or may not be relevant to them, with or without the 
Manifesto. Overview pages are good, and linking to this one from the 
Manifesto may serve as an additional incentive to keep it up to date.

Best,
Thomas
