Why this need to preserve old links forever? Websites change. If we migrate from trac to something else, I'm not going back and updating every website that ever linked to trac. When we changed from flyspray to trac, google, yahoo, bing, etc search engines all update their databases of links within 3 days.
I'm fine with not putting in any redirects. If the new structure is sufficiently logical, people will figure it out. torproject.org is the largest link farm to trac, we can update that. Attached is the linking domains, according to google, to trac.tpo.
