The majority of published references to VCS repositories are URLs for
anonymous access. Also regular Alioth users will be more aware of the
Alioth reconfiguration than others, and will know that they need to
change the read-write/push URLs. Therefore I think it is more important
that the URLs for anonymous access continue to work.
