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.

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.

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)?
