Not necessarily. To be decided, together with the gnomesupport.org
maintainers. 

I'm for moving from gnomesupport.org to support.gnome.org, yes, but
there are other possibilities.

> Why make it a subdomain at all?

I think the question is the other way round: why an official GNOME
subsite shouldn't be under gnome.org? 

I bet gnomesupport.org was created with a different domain on a external
server because this way Luke Stroven could simply JFDI skipping the
server policies and the sysadmin dependencies at that time. Now the
situation is different. What is the reason to stay away?

I also think that one domain less helps fixing the mess.
support.gnome.org looks good and consistent with all the rest. I have
mentioned already the advantages of having a General nav bar linking to
subdomains and not to wgo pages or external domains.

As far as I know Luke sees this move with good eyes. Another reason to
think the move makes sense.

Some do, some don't. I remember being confused by gnomesupport.org the
first day I looked for GNOME support. Was that site official? Some
people care about this when looking for answers. Users like me would be
not confused with a support.gnome.org

For people don't giving a crap about URLs will be the same to have
gnomesupport.org or support.gnome.org - no loss here.
