The point of the redirect would be that we only have one page.. If we
have two pages that show *almost* the same data, that seems like
setting ourselves up for having a similar problem in the future.
FWIW, the reason this is obvious now is that they're both rendered on
the same site. It used to be that one of the pages were in the
archives and one on the main site (and also looked differently - but
that's why it wasn't as obvious we had two pages showing the same
thing)
