https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/ uses bit.ly instead of the real URL in many links There is no benefit in using external services for shortening here. But the service has several negative effects: * the links get less reliable * users do not know where they are redirected to * the free redirect service is paid with the users profile data see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_shortening#Shortcomings
Then give me a Gentoo URL shortener with really short URLs. I don't care about minor political issues for doc URLs when they avoid exponential growth of report size. And we're talking about sizes that make it useless.
mgorny says this is fixed on IRC.
