1 I'm not sure that changing the URLs is a good idea. I'd rather use
2 .htaccess and mod_rewrite to redirect short URLs to their permanent
3 long equivalents. Nobody else seems to mind though, so I've merged
4 Gianluca's solution with a few changes:
5 * Since we're truncating bug IDs, truncate comment IDs too.
6 * Use libbe.util.id._truncate to generate the short IDs, so that `be
7 html` truncation is consistent with general BE truncation.
8 * Updated cross-linking code to match.
