I can't possibly see the advantage. It doesn't open up the page name because if you don't put in a redirect lots of links (both internal and external) will die on us. Not to mention, the main page has been with us from the beginning. Moving that entire history will be a strain on the server and it really serves no useful purpose. Is having a fancy portal space really worth that much?
Alternative idea: If it has to get that name, can't we create the portal thingy as a redirect and use that template for alternative names on the main page without actually moving it?
