Suggestion of new aka.ms links for Microsoft Purview / Compliance Center

Unless I poorly verified, it seems like there not (yet?) aka.ms links in order to reach the Microsoft Purview Compliance center ?

I suggest the following :

• aka.ms/co ==> https://compliance.microsoft.com/ (Purview Compliance home page)
• aka.ms/co/classification ==> https://compliance.microsoft.com/dataclassification/overview (Data Classification)
• aka.ms/co/ip ==> https://compliance.microsoft.com/informationprotection/overview (Information Protection / Sensitivity labeling)
• aka.ms/co/dlp ==> https://compliance.microsoft.com/datalossprevention/overview (Data Loss Prevention)
• aka.ms/co/dlm ==> https://compliance.microsoft.com/informationgovernance (Data Lifecyle management)
• aka.ms/co/records ==> https://compliance.microsoft.com/recordsmanagement (Records Management)
• aka.ms/co/eds ==> https://compliance.microsoft.com/classicediscovery (Standard eDiscovery)
• aka.ms/co/edp ==> https://compliance.microsoft.com/advancedediscovery (Premium eDiscovery)
• aka.ms/co/irm ==> https://compliance.microsoft.com/insiderriskmgmt (Insider Risk Management)
• aka.ms/co/cc ==> https://compliance.microsoft.com/supervisoryreview (Communication Compliance)
• aka.ms/co/cm ==> https://compliance.microsoft.com/compliancemanager
• aka.ms/co/audit ==> https://compliance.microsoft.com/auditlogsearch
• aka.ms/co/search ==> https://compliance.microsoft.com/contentsearchv2 (Content Search)
