 Replying to [comment:3 mcs]:
 > How will this change affect the browser's update client?  Do you plan to
 use an additional .htaccess file to redirect update URL requests to the
 correct location based on channel?

 This should not affect the browser's update client. The content returned
 by all URLs should be the same as before.

 Instead of having one .htaccess that redirect based on channel, OS,
 version and language, we would have one separate .htaccess for each
 channel, in a sub-directory, which redirects based on OS, version and
 language. The matching of the channel would be done with the directory
 name.
