and I don't know why but it loads a lot faster to the point where you get to enter something into the search field.

This may be because assets are no longer duplicated across the two domains so if you already have the assets in your cache then you can just use them instead of fetching them twice.

can we keep relying on the atlas.tpo domain and redirect or will you kill atlas.tpo eventually?

Eventually it will be killed. A date for that has not yet been set, but it's something that we'd want to do in the next few months.

Thanks, Iain.

What does it break if it goes away?

We don't want to keep it around forever, but we also don't want to turn it off if there are some things that could be fixed keeping it on for another month or two.

The reason there's no date set at the moment is it's just not clear yet how many URLs need updating in documentation and other codebases.

Thanks, Iain.

Everyone who has ever linked to a relay on a mailing list message, forum question, or in their bookmarks.

It also breaks muscle memory.

You will never be able to fix third-party links in a systematic way.

Why would you choose to break them? Does it take a lot of effort or resources to keep the redirect in place?

I don't understand why we can't just leave the redirect in place, and fix things gradually.
