That is a better question.

Tutorials are longer, and cover a specific issue or set of issues in more depth.

So the real question becomes;  "Is there any reason not to merge
Tutorials and How-tos into one section?"

I'd vote for merging them into one section.

It was where to put tutorials.

Regardless of what the final decision is, links will be broken.
