Permanent redirects for pending-urls after release?

Hello,

Question for the release-manager / sysadmin-team:

Would it be much effort to create permanent redirects for the temporary 
"pending"-urls after the actual release is made?

E.g. make urls like http://dist.plone.org/release/4.3.2-pending/ redirect to
http://dist.plone.org/release/4.3.2/  instead of returning a 404?


Not having this, can suddenly breaks buildouts like this

  File "/home/sites/buildouts/buildout-
python/parts/opt/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 93, in urlretrieve
    return _urlopener.retrieve(url, filename, reporthook, data)
  File "/home/sites/buildouts/buildout-
python/parts/opt/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 239, in retrieve
    fp = self.open(url, data)
  File "/home/sites/buildouts/buildout-
python/parts/opt/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 207, in open
    return getattr(self, name)(url)
  File "/home/sites/buildouts/buildout-
python/parts/opt/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 358, in open_http
    return self.http_error(url, fp, errcode, errmsg, headers)
  File "/home/sites/buildouts/buildout-
python/parts/opt/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 375, in http_error
    return self.http_error_default(url, fp, errcode, errmsg, headers)
  File "/home/sites/buildouts/buildout-
python/parts/opt/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 380, in http_error_default
    raise IOError, ('http error', errcode, errmsg, headers)
IOError: ('http error', 404, 'Not Found', <httplib.HTTPMessage instance at 
0x26de320>)


Which might be a reason for some to rather wait for the final release.
