Comment 12 for bug 400215

So Martin, you're suggesting we shorten our URLs so that you can make them even shorter ?

In any case, this URL is part of the web service API 1.0, so changing the canonical url now is complicated. It would have to affect only the devel API and web site. And it would break any code that assumed the 1.0 API's url was related to the web site URL, e.g. lp-land. Providing it as a redirect instead of a canonical url would be less challenging.

Tim said: "Despite all this, and whatever our desires may be to avoid people talking about reviews using their number, it'll happen anyway because it is a single number that uniquely identifies a merge proposal / code review."

I have never seen this, so if it happens at all, it's probably too rare a case to worry about.
