    Why do we need the interstitial page for direct links to files?
    What action is expected to be taken by the person who followed that
    link, other than having to do extra clicks?

Few things:
- Want to encourage people to update their links to DXR.

This won't help with existing links from Bugzilla, obviously.

- Lots of 3rd party software is directly linking to files in MXR. We
want to provide a path to fixing these links now that MXR is offline.

OK. Sounds like you may want to skip the interstitial based on referrer or something. Because having this interstitial for bugzilla links just sounds like a PITA.

- Not all links will work.

Which ones won't?  Why won't they work?
