Sometimes features are renamed and the old id is moved to the alias field.

A user should be able to go to https://webstatus.dev/features/<alias> and be redirected to the page for the main id.

Yep, redirects is what I had in mind with the alias field.

That being said, I guess that zero people depend on the aliases that we have so far. It might be a good idea to just remove all of them and not claim those identifiers forever.

I'm sure we'll eventually need to support redirects for mistakes and merged features, however.

We deleted this field in web-platform-dx/web-features#1450 ahead of the 1.0 release. Starting from a clean slate. We might need it again in the future, but it's OK to close this issue for now.
