The URLs are pretty easy to change. The dispatch tables here: https://github.com/plt/racket/blob/master/collects/meta/planet2-index/basic/main.rkt#L35
and here: https://github.com/plt/racket/blob/master/collects/meta/planet2-index/official/main.rkt#L95 just need to change, and if the first does, then this: https://github.com/plt/racket/blob/master/collects/planet2/lib.rkt#L216 needs an update. So, there's no reason for two sites.
