I think we have plans to change the Nightly & Dev WNP urls too, but this is where they currently live on FXC

However are the FXC endpoints being used, at all? I still get in-product links to WMO, and there are no redirects from WMO for these other channels.

!!! note
Before moving to CMS-powered whatsnew pages on Springfield with v145, Bedrock whatsnew URLs followed a different pattern: <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/99.0/whatsnew/>

I think these are kinda still valid both. (With some of the extra tribal knowledge, like what versions, locales, and the major version fixup done along the way deliberately?) ~ The CMS-powered pages are only selectively redirected, but the actual inproduct links point everyone to WMO by default, so locales and versions matched are not served from evergreen FXC as https://www.firefox.com/it/whatsnew/123.4 — but from evergreen WMO still https://www.mozilla.org/it/firefox/123.4/whatsnew/ … correct?

DO NOT MERGE until we know when product will start directing WNP traffic directly to Springfield

I don't really want to do an interim WNP update (unless we know it's going to be a long time before we remove the redirect behaviour). This is meant to be preparation for Springfield-based WNPs

@maureenlholland The upsteam work is finished if you want to revisit this. The docs have changed a lot since then though so there may be a fair bit of work to resolve the conflicts.
