Why isn't %{dist} embedded in some part of the start URL, giving you the option of controlling what users of the different releases get to see from the backend side?

Hi everyone! Let's get right to business. I've got a request for a
project-level decision. Up through and including Fedora 20,
http://start.fedoraproject.org/ was the default home page in Firefox.
At a community member's suggestion, that was change to be
"about:newtab" in Rawhide, and inherited into F21.
Fedora Magazine is actually getting quite a bit of traffic from
start.fpo, which means someone saw a headline there and clicked.
Generating magazine traffic is good, but even more importantly, this is
one of our key channels of communication to users. I talked to the
Fedora Marketing and websites teams and there was broad consensus that
we should go back to http://start.fedoraproject.org/. Allan Day, who
filed the original request to change.
Martin Stransky, the package maintainer, doesn't want to be changing
back and forth based on whoever filed a bug last, and asks for a
decision by Fedora governance.
I guess my own opinion is clear — I think putting it to the Fedora page
is best for the project. Because this change only affects the defaults
set the first time someone opens Firefox in a new profile, it'd be nice
to have this set by the F21 release — even though we're well into
freeze territory, so that ship has probably sailed. Do we have quick
consensus to make the change now? (If not, we'll figure out a
longer-term solution for F22.)
