So, if you did it server-side, where would you redirect to? Not just the
canonical path because then how does the server detect that the followup needs
to show the redirected from msg? and if you create a new style of URL (e.g.
${canonical}?rdfrom=origtitle) to redirect to then we have extra complexity and
it's still not landing at the canonical URL. unless we did both ?rdfrom and
also pushstate to remove the rdfrom param. but that's no better than what's
deployed now.
