This is a source of some user confusion and bugs though, because the
aspects of the page that vary depend on the user having a fairly
advanced mental model of Launchpad's namespace. It might be better
for instance to put the heat icons next to the task they describe
(though that might be complicated too, in various ways.)
Of course you're right that this is more than just a matter of putting
up redirects.
