Thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortunately that won't help for my use case, which is using the "repo"
tool with a xml manifest on a uncontrolled environment to fetch a set of
repos containing Yocto layers and then automatically build a SDK.

I already fixed it by updating the xml files to point to the new URIs,
but things were broken until I noticed the breakage and did the update.

I have worked as sysadmin in the past and is not that hard to add some
redirections on Apache or Nginx to keep the old URIs working.
By not doing that, the result is that some third-party CIs broke and
several users got annoyed. I really hope next time this can be avoided.

Thanks.
