This might affect the SEO of a lot of migrating SX sites if not implemented before the migration.

It was my understanding that we were going to convert all the singular/plural path pairs to just use the plural forms:
I don't know if something has come up that changed this plan. Hernani's comment on your answer to my question indicates this may not be so (http://meta.osqa.net/question/935/can-question-urls-be-remapped-to-match-stack-exchanges). Could you guys have a chat and clarify the position please.

Yeah, we'll discuss it today. I'm pretty sure we're going to consolidate these paths, even if just for the sake of simplicity.

Any updates on this? How high is this in the issue priority list?

No update. It is neither high nor low priority - just somewhere in the middle. Due to electricity problems in Hernani's town, he has been offline for over 24 hours now. Poor man!

it would also make it more consistent with the badges and tags pages, e.g. http://meta.osqa.net/badges/16/autobiographer/ and http://meta.osqa.net/tags/feature-request/
and http://meta.osqa.net/users/208/randell
I've added an answer to my related question with a workaround that redirects from /questions/[id] to /question/[id]: http://meta.osqa.net/question/935/can-question-urls-be-remapped-to-match-stack-exchanges#1975
@Hernani, will this feature be part of the fantasy island release? I'm hoping that it is. This is probably the only remaining feature I'm waiting before actually migrating.
This feature is already in the trunk since yesterday night, I haven't update this site yet, but I will.
We need to make sure that we include a 301 redirect for the old urls so at everyone doesn't get broken. I wonder if a .htaccess in the root of the app would accomplish this?
@matt you could do this by reversing the redirect I implemented as in http://meta.osqa.net/question/935/can-question-urls-be-remapped-to-match-stack-exchanges#1975
