Thanks for the idea; we just began exploring the #REFRESH directive, which does
an  actual <meta http-equiv="refresh"...>.

I definitely see advantages in this approach:

* Don't have to modify the URL each release (as we do in getting a new tinyurl)
* Memorable URL
* Relies upon tool that aren't likely to break or change in behavior

However, I'm curious what made you think about this in the first place?  That
is, you refer to obfuscation, which has a negative connotation -- as if we are
intentionally trying to hide something.  Or is it just that tinyurl.com links
are risky because you don't know where they go, even if you trust the source
that wrote them?
