hi,

Because we have an index, it's now very easy to add new routes. I think
it would be a lot more user-friendly to have an index that starts with
the product name ("firefox" for example).

For example: "gecko.v2.firefox.win64-opt.nightly.latest" instead of
"gecko.v2.mozilla-central.nightly.latest.firefox.win64-opt
<https://tools.taskcluster.net/index/artifacts/#gecko.v2.mozilla-central.nightly.latest.firefox/gecko.v2.mozilla-central.nightly.latest.firefox.win64-opt>".
Going from the most general to the most specific.
Using an index that starts with "mozilla-central" is really technical
and does not make things easy to find :/ Even if it can be good for
automated tools.

Fortunately now it's not either one or the other, we can have both. But
before filing a bug, I'd like to know if the general population thinks
it's a good idea.
