annoying web page auto-redirect

[David Herron]

Oh, hmm, the openjdk.dev.java.net was our temporary site we used  
after the first Java Freedom Day (Nov 13).  For this second Java  
Freedom Day we moved to the permanent home at openjdk.java.net.

I was looking at the main page today and agree, it's a lot shorter  
than the previous one.
