why i7 moved?

[declaresub]

What is the idea behind the decision branch i7 moved? As best as I can tell, it serves only as a possible short-circuit for skipping the next decisions moved_permanently, moved_temporarily, gone_permanently.

Once again, sorry for the late reply.

You are right that it's a shortcircuit, as it is also seen from the diagram. So if you have the means to confirm that the resource has moved e.g. /profile/1234567890 has moved to /user/andrei.neculau, then this hook should return true, allowing for the other moved_* hooks to decide which type of resource-move was performed.

In retrospect, I agree with what you're implying i.e. why have it at all? I'll leave this open, and mark it as enhancement (simplification).
