Please don't add lkml.org. It does not use message ids for indexing.
With knowing the message id you can query any other archive.
e.g. http://marc.info/?i=20100319013024.GA28456@Krystal
By adding lkml.org you kill that information. Archives come and go,
the message id is the only common query id we have.

IMHO kernel.org admins should fix/improve their redirection service to
point to a working service.
There has been some instability in the kernel.org redirection.  Right
now, the /r/ services seems to work, though as noted the /g/ does not.
Please report this to the Kernel.org administrators:

Done. I reported this issue to them and will keep an eye on it. I definitely agree that we shouldn't use the message ids. Otherwise, that's really a lot of detective work to find out which message was referred to. That's very good advise.

Thanks,

Michael.
