For example, you won't be able to (sometime probably within a week) be
able to read news at www.lugnet.com anymore -- the only reason you still
can now is just for backward compatibility and a gentle switchover.  Those
old URLs (now deprecated) will auto-forward to news.lugnet.com.  (The
articles themselves already do, but not the news categories.)  More details
later...!

Are links to news items on www.lugnet.com going to work forever, or are
old news items with URL cross references going to break at some point?

Oh, sorry.  Yes, they'll work forever as forwarding links.  What I meant above
was that you won't be able to browse news at www.lugnet.com anymore (not the
same way you brows news at news.lugnet.com).  And technically, you won't be
able to read news there either since it'll auto-forward to the new URL.  But
it'll still act properly.  :)
