Disclaimer: no amount of effort can stop me from worrying.
I think it's worth waiting at least a day to see if anybody has
any suggestions. I mean, if there's a "I'm trying a new version
of the website, please watch urls containing /website/ closely!"
check-box on the google analytics website, it would be silly not
enable that.
Also: how many flashing "help wanted" signs do we have on the
website right now? If the -devel community wanted, we could
certainly resolve them all in 2-3 days. Is it worth doing that
before switch websites? Maybe, maybe not.

What, just a 's/web/website/' in ~/web/.htaccess ? I expected it
to be a bit more involved than that (although still less than 10
lines).
