Yes, it has been there for a few weeks now.  It is for convenience of
getting a link to a message without adding unnecessary information (well,
unnecessary for most users) to the display.

The www view should also handle URL for people who have never been there
before (and thus get the welcome message the first time) now.  So you can
distribute links and after confirming the welcome screen and getting the
cookie they will be redirected to their original destination.
