We do have a duty not to make people think our accessory projects are
dead. If a user follows the top 5 links for, for example, pgpool, and
that link is a 404, he's going to assume that the pgpool project is
gone. Not that it's moved somewhere else.
The alternative to providing forwarding is to keep pgfoundry up for a
year after we start telling people to move off of it, but gradually lock
out activity on pgfoundry. That way there would be a transition period
during which the new locations for projects could climb the search results.
