Well, svn-qavm.a.o already exists, and DShahaf has already moved content
there. I think the larger concern is if a "redirect mapping" server were
stood up to capture svn.haxx.se clicks and redirect them, then to ... where?
In INFRA-20213, we noted that mail-archives.a.o is going away. Our end goal
is lists.a.o, so that is where the content needs to be migrated.
We (Infra) have a lot of issues with loading archival data onto lists.a.o.
We have a bunch of it, there are permalink issues, and it is going to a
long slog. So there is also the issue for the svn community to determine
whether it wants to fill the gap or maybe throw in some volunteer infra
time to help sort through our backlog. (access to archival messages has
generally been lower priority; volunteers welcome)
No issues on the storage. It's all about servicing up a landing page for
$oldHaxxLink.
