Now that you mention it, I believe the intent was to leave the legacy
aggregate as-is until Mar 29, at which time a redirect would be put in
place.

Hmm, I think the text on the new page is wrong. I need to go back and
edit that page.

Good question. I think the intent was to leave the legacy aggregate
alone until Mar 29. I misrepresented that on the new page, which I
will fix.

Nice catch, Scott.
