The gap between my thinking and Gerard's
thinking appears to be that
Gerard considers redirects to be canonincal content; thus having a
"wrong spelling" in a URL somehow implies that this is a "correct"
spelling, which is therefore wrong and should be removed.
On the other hand, your thinking is based on the assumption that without
redirects, the URLs that people currently link to will stop working.
This in turn is assuming that the Ultimate Wiktionary will replace the
existing Wiktionaries at their current URLs, which according to my
understanding of the plan isn't going to happen.
Gerard's been talking about existing Wiktionaries and his practice of
removing redirects from them.
UW doesn't even enter into this.
