Yes, cool. But the problem is not in "to use www or not to use www". The problem is that main page of some internet resource, which *always* is domain name without any subdomains, couldn't return an error. It's a... nonsense! When somebody ask "tell me an address of **** website", nobody and never start their answers with W...W...W.... And even if they start, vast majority of people automatically truncate www and remember only informative part. And then such users go to postfix.org and see an error. And they, absolutely rightly, think "how can this software work correctly, if even main site of it everytime is down without any explanation even on the main page". When you see a mail address, like postfix-users@postfix.org, you go not to www.postfix.org to read about that mailing list, your *always* go to postfix.org, because main page of some internet resource is *always* a domain name. It's .... a simplest psychology and obvious things. The main address of some resource must return something always and in all cases, even if resource is completelly down. Why you consciously create huge number of inconvenience to users? It's so simple - just add an alias.
