vague unease about reachability

 

As the subject says, right now this is a vague uneasiness I have. I could be hallucinating or just not finding what I'm looking for, but I suspect that some of our pages are no longer reachable by normal navigation. I think some pages are only accessible via url hacking.
Case in point: I'm QA'ing Curtis's UI 3.0 update to the +driver page.   
I can enter http://launchpad.dev/applets/+driver and see that the page  
is nicely formatted.
But what if I start from http://launchpad.dev/applets?  How do I get  
to the +driver page?  There appears to be no link on the project index  
page, but I do see "Change details" (squirreled away at the bottom of  
the page, but that's a problem for a later email) so I click on that.   
No +driver link there either, but there is a "Change people link" so I  
click on that.
Nothing there either, except now I have a nice AJAX-y "Choose..." link  
next to the Driver field.  That's great, I can change the driver for  
the project, but it makes me pretty suspicious that the +driver page  
is an orphan.
I've had this feeling before, as I've been converting pages to UI 3.0,  
but I always thought I was just seeing things.  Now maybe I'm not so  
sure.
