Jan Lehnardt commented on COUCHDB-348:
--------------------------------------

I=E2=80=99d be against adding /couchdb as a required prefix, let alone the =
massive BC breakage and the losing of a really nice API that we worked hard=
 to get right.

> As more people are adopting CouchDB, the number of questions along the li=
nes of "All I see is {"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"0.10.0a773399"}, what =
now?"
> If this page redirected to /_utils/ (or maybe something more user-focusse=
d) when the accept headers included html, we could make the first-time user=
 experience more palatable.
> There's some code in COUCHDB-234 that might be helpful here.
