I’m fine with either or both of those adjustments. I was not aware that
https://xenbits.xen.org is an alias for https://xenbits.xenproject.org.
" xen.org" is the original. When Xen joined the Linux Foundation, there were some complications with the trademark: Citrix had renamed all their products to XenFoo (even those which had nothing to do with Xen), and so wanted to keep the trademark; but the LF felt they needed a trademark they could own & enforce. The solution the lawyers came up with was for Citrix to allow the LF to own the trademark to "The Xen Project", while Citrix retained the trademark to "Xen". Everything was meant to have shifted over to " xenproject.org", but of course " xen.org" was kept around to avoid breaking links; and here we are, 10 years later.
Neither LF nor CSG are particularly trigger-happy with lawsuits, so it's not a huge deal, but all things being equal, it's better to use " xenproject.org"; and switching to " xen.org" is certainly a (small) regression.
