Comment (by arma):

 Another option would be to set up the support.torproject.org webserver,
 and have it just be a 302 redirect to the wiki support page for now.

 That way the url is the same one that we give to people, and later it can
 become an even better page, while keeping the same address.

 (Otherwise we end up with this "torproject.org/support" notion that we
 have to either maintain forever, or break and make some obsolete users
 sad.)

 If we're reasonable confident that we're going to be serving static html
 from support.torproject.org (as opposed to e.g. running it on its own
 drupal server), then I think setting up the webserver now, using the
 standard www rotation servers (just like www, dist, extra, etc) makes a
 lot of sense.
