Agreed. Just saying that, if this is a real problem, a custom conf.py
would be the best approach. 

Btw, if I'm not mistaken, our building system already allows it via:

	make SPHINX_CONF=conf-redirects.py htmldocs

I suspect that it would be possible to add redirects extension and
its parameters on it, if someone ever needs it. No need to carry
such stuff at the Kernel upstream, as this would very likely limited
to some web sites that would be interested on keeping links to
old documentation's location.
