This is in part because before 7.4, those things were in separate
"books" and so you couldn't easily make a cross-reference to them.
Now that we build the docs as one big book, cross-references are easy.
It's just a matter of someone taking the time to go through and add
them. Do I hear a volunteer?

BTW, I'd not be in favor of separating out the Tutorial into a separate
document again, precisely because we would lose the ability for it to
easily cross-reference the main docs.
