I'm still -1 on this. I don't think we need to assume the contents of these directories in a rewrite rule, nor do I think it makes the rules any clearer. Can we please just use rules that don't make assumptions? Does this even let me go to http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gephi/ correctly? I don't think it does. -Dan
