The hierarchy would be human readable and short is better than human readable
is better than short is better than others.

I think it should. BTW you don't really need "g" to say "this is a group". Just
use forum.dlang.org/announce and use some other convention for everything
that's not a group, e.g. forum.dlang.org/_/whatevs. Those will be rarely used.
