I don't think this is a great solution to this bug.

The fundamental problem here is that we've never put up a version agnostic front page for SunSpider – instead we have a version specific one.  Having 'sunspider-0.9/sunspider.html' optionally launch version 0.9.1 isn't particularly clean, and if we leave this as the main page for the benchmark then we continue to propagate a mess into the future – we'll end up with multiple front pages for the benchmark ('sunspider-0.9/sunspider.html', 'sunspider-0.9.1/sunspider.html', etc), all of which can launch multiple variants of the benchmark.

I'd suggest that a much better solution would be to try to establish a version-agnostic front page for SunSpider.  We should move SunSpider's home to something like 'webkit.org/perf/sunspider/sunspider.html', and make the existing 'sunspider.html's in the sunspider-0.9 & sunspider-0.9.1 directories redirect here.  This would keep existing links working, while giving people a better location to link to & bookmark going forwards.  This new page could have a button to directly launch current version the current version, and a link to the versions page, that lists all versions.

The versions page should also move.  It is currently found at 'webkit.org/perf/sunspider-0.9.1/versions.html', however this is clearly nonsensical.  It would not make sense for the list of all versions to itself be version-specific.  'versions.html' should move to 'webkit.org/perf/sunspider/versions.html' (alongside the proposed new version-agnostic home for the 'sunspider.html' homepage).

(Or alternatively to the last couple of comments, the versions page could be removed, and links to older versions could be included directly on the front page – either way could make sense.)
