[SAC] Fwd: foss4g.org EXPIRES December 19th, 2015

[Alex M]

Interesting, but expensive point, which in some ways also applies to
.com, .net and other TLD

So far we've been letting old foss4g urls expire, as we have had
redirects on them in place to year.foss4g.org for many years now.

I'm not sure we have a good way to gauge the traffic flows to unused or
broken domains.

Thanks,
Alex
