Note that, as several people have pointed out but seems to have been
lost in the noise: this only affects the main page.

Accesses to www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo are redirected to
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo so that existing article links still work. 
(I just tested this: it does work).

I believe that this is something long past due. While the English
wikipedia is still the largest, a number of other languages have
reached the point where they are substantial, useable encyclopedias. 
It is only right that the project's main page be an index of the
available Wikipedias.
