Comment:

 This ticket is the root of a tree of dependencies for other tickets.

 A stable proxy URL means that we can start asking people to put a proxy
 badge on their pages (#20813).

 Hosting that we can actually write to will allow us to point the proxy to
 the standalone broker (#22874) instead of the App Engine one. A standalone
 broker that's independent of App Engine means we can use alternate domain
 fronts (#22782).

 A stable proxy URL means that a browser extension (#23888) will be able to
 reference code that is being maintained.

 That doesn't mean we can't make progress on the other tickets. #22874 is
 99% done, and you can write most of #23888 and plug in a proxy URL at the
 end. We could switch clients to the standalone broker immediately. It's
 just that none of these changes will have an effect, because the in-the-
 wild proxies (not that there are many of them) are still using the
 keroserene.net proxy, which isn't being updated and still points to the
 App Engine broker.
