So am I correct to think that nobody will ever *run*across* <larousse.wikipedia.org> -- that is, they'll never find it without typing in "larousse" at some point themselves?
Oh sure they will, if they're reading the mailing list archives, if they're reading Wikipedia History pages which talk about our servers, if they're subscribed to wikitech-l and we talk about doing something on larousse, etc. But nobody's advertising anything like "Visit larousse.wikipedia.org, the free encyclopedia!" Nor are we slapping URLs links to larousse.wikipedia.org all over everything. We are not using "Larousse" as a business name, nor as a product name, nor as the name of a service we offer. It's just a cuter, easier to remember way of referring to "the computer reachable at 130.94.122.199".
If any of the temporary links directly on larousse.wikipedia.org found their way into search engines, they should be gradually removed by the present redirect to www.wikipedia.org.
