There is no internal link from the website to that page anymore, so let's just remove the incoming_mirrors page (no change since 11 years..). Only web search engines still fetch that page. And we already have good rank for the right pages regarding incoming (devref + incoming.d.o), so no need for a redirect IMO. -- Simon Paillard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
