www directs me to 'larousse.wikipedia.org' -- larousse is a great name, but for an innocent user it looks confusing. Why can't we continue to use 'www' or 'en' as the host name?
Larousse is just the name of the machine, and shouldn't generally be linked to directly; at some point in the near future it will probably not serve wiki pages under that name anymore, but just under en. and www.
It's only been linked to under its own name temporarily so that people whose DNS servers are way behind can get at the new server. It's been up for a few days now, I'm not seeing any more English-Wikipedia connections on the old server, and I've taken the old server's copy of the wiki offline, so at this point anyone who isn't able to get at the new server via www.wikipedia.org is in trouble. :)
If something is redirecting you automatically to the larousse.wikipedia.org hostname, please tell me exactly what it is so I can fix it.
