I dont really consider the current spartan pages a much better user
experience and we are doing redundant work. We already know that
fedora.redhat.com is not easily changed either.

I dont see how 1. is related to 2. What we need is a way to setup
automatic redirects. If we dont have a way to do that, redirecting users
to a wiki page manually is no different from redirecting users to a
plone page. The usage of plone in fedoraproject.org doesnt provide us
any benefits or change in setting redirects in fedora.redhat.com.
