Thanks for those links. Interesting to see. I think there's a couple of other things in there that we might be able to get rid of now, related to native binaries.

We release sources. We have tens of thousands of source downloads for each release. The json redirect is actually more for checkout builds - we embed it in the released sources so it cannot be affected by future link or file modifications. With binary download links we should give some consideration to how permanent any external permalinks really are, and if necessary look at what steps we can put in to ensure resilience of our source releases. This is not the first time there's been a potential for this link to be a concern.
