 For a better maintaing of the spins pages we should remove the actual
 redirect rules for the Design and Electronic-Lab Spin. That's from the
 Infra side, no hurry until F18 will be released.

Comment (by robyduck):

As there are some issues for the specific language redirects, such as
 spins.fp.o/lang_code/design-suite we should fix this issue by renaming the
 directories, deleting the redirect rules.
 Otherwise the only fix will be correcting the path for every single
 language.

Contra: renaiming dir will break external links, don't know if it's worth
 to create two rewrite rules to redirect the wrong external links to the
 renamed directories.

Comment (by shaiton):

I agree it would be better to avoid this redirect.
 But we need to keep the old link working.

If I remember correctly, this redirect came from at some point where the
 spins get renamed. It could happens later for other spins also.

Comment (by robyduck):

I propose to rename the directories:
 * fel -> electronic-lab
 * design -> design-suite
 and to delete the redirect rule on apache. To do on f19-alpha branch and
 before D-day, to have it alive when Alpha release is available.

To keep the old links working we should rather think about a rewrite rule,
 for example:
  RewriteRule http://spins.fedoraproject.org/design/
 http://spins.fedoraproject.org/design-suite/ [R=301,L,NC]

No it's still in the TODO list, but as we are going to redesign spins.fpo
 we just should not forget it and write the new pages without thinking
 about the redirect.

So, actually we can keep it until F22.

Comment:

Spins.fpo is ready for a new release, the redirect isn't necessary anymore
 and has been dropped.
