I didn't think about that case, it definitely makes sense. In fact I mostly focused on first redirection without thinking about systematic redirection caused by a migration (for example). Now I'm starting to think that we should never close by default and that we should change this behaviour as it's counter-intuitive. I don't know what others think. Willy
