Not planned From admin.php to admin (Use full friendly URLs AdminCP) support

[Yenxji]

Wouldn't it be better to enable Use full friendly URLs as AdminCP to change the route from admin.php to admin?

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    #   If you are having problems with the rewrite rules, remove the "#" from the
    #   line that begins "RewriteBase" below. You will also have to change the path
    #   of the rewrite to reflect the path to your XenForo installation.
    #RewriteBase /xenforo
    #   This line may be needed to workaround HTTP Basic auth issues when using PHP as a CGI.
    #RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^(data/|js/|styles/|install/|favicon\.ico|crossdomain\.xml|robots\.txt) - [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^.*$ admin.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>

There's really no point. It's not a public url.

Indeed. The whole point of friendly URLs is predominantly for search engine optimisation and for URLs that might be shared being a little more user-readable aesthetically.

Nothing to stop you from configuring your web server to redirect admin to admin.php but there's really very little point beyond saving the typing of 4 characters.
