Sure.
But I don't want broken links to persist forever.
People should _notice_ that the old links are no longer valid.
And correct the referring pages, if possible.

Thats why I suggest to modify the content of the
page returned for "no such page",
where it currently just says: for documentation, please look there...
I can easily add an explicit link to a guessed new location.
Then we remove the old page, so it will no longer be found,
and are done with it.

A redirect (selectivly for migrated pages...) would need to be put in
some mapping table, and someone has to maintain that table.  And People
will then not notice broken links, and keep referring to them.

But, yes, if you volunteer to maintain the mapping,
technically we can easily tell apache to redirect.
