Yes.
I don't think that it is best to point to the datatracker.
There is no "best" thing to point at, really. I believe that pointing at the datatracker is reasonable, and at least better than some (many?) other options.
It would be better to use a location under www.ietf.org as the point of entry.
Suggest one?
There are some participants in the HTTPbis WG or the Tools team that would be able to explain the long-term solution better than me as they have the knowledge when it comes to URI persistence [1]. The work may also benefit other IETF-related web sites.
Why wouldn't the datatracker URL be considered stable? Lars
