   I agree on this too.

This is obviously the simplest hack.  But it lacks future vision.  It
doesn't cause the canonical place to find out detailed information for
project XXX to be at XXX.gnu.org.  It doesn't lend itself to balancing
load amongst a farm of project servers.  In fact, it simply adds
ambiguity where before there was none.

I am voting for emacs.gnu.org to be separated from www.gnu.org because
I believe that it is a better solution for now, and the future.
