    Also please think about bunch of links in Wiki pages
  (http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.86/0.86.1_Notes for an instance).
   We need to retain all of the links to historical ticket to support
existing users.
   I think just correct redirection is insufficient, reading bug
number correctly is important
   as documentation purpose.  How would you identify some ticket in
IRC session, etc...
