We have millions of articles on our legacy system that we wish to migrate to Arc without changing the URLs.
That platform doesn't have trailing slashes on the URLs, so when we flip the switch to send them all to Arc it will start issuing 301s to add it.
This will result in a huge volume of redirects, and it has the potential to decimate our crawl budget, which for a news website is critical.
We'd like to suppress this behaviour for these URLs, similar to how it's suppressed when the last component of the path contains a dot.

Hello Rob,
Thanks for the suggestion. We are taking a look into what's possible here.
Thanks!
