But note this could have adverse effects for things like google searches. Google would probably see the redirect and wipe out all the good karma we get from links to those pages.
It is just a (imho short) question of time Google (and other search engines) will renew their index and rebuild the karma for the new URIs. Not to change the meaning of /docs will do us much more pain. I don't want to hear "hey, forget apache. their docs are really outdated". And this is, what may (will?) come some day, if we keep our current URI structure.
I don't believe this is entirely true. The karma comes from the links, and my observation is that links rarely get updated when content moves.
And there are probably other consequences of changing URLs.
I'd like to see more of a concrete statement of what problem we are trying to solve. If it is just a question of ugly urls, I don't think it is worth solving.
