This is the standard URL for such pages. This involves removing the

and detailed in the documentation.

A few questions:

 - You mentioned this is the standard URL: are you referring to a
   particular standard, or to a looser convention?

I'm sure someone's drafted an RFC for this at some point, heh. However, I'm referring to the convention of most of the websites I visit regularly.

 - Is there any benefit to changing this apart from moving towards a
   more standard URL?

Mainly cleaner/less code, which was the initial objective of this. I do think displaying the pwclient info on the project page is a UX improvement, though I'm biased.

 - Are we stuck with the old URL 404ing, or can we put in a 301?

We can, but we'd have to carry that redirect for a very long time. I don't know if the value of that extra code is significant enough for a general page like this (it would be different for a patch or comment link)?
