Why not? Since you already have a redirection engine in place, redirecting as many URL's as possible will greatly increase the site usability; reduce the damage to existing documents, products, and search engines; and increase the user satisfaction. Breaking them just increases the number of complaints your team and your team's management will inevitably get about the migration.
Because all the content on hub is user-editable and pages may move, be renamed or deleted, or pages may be joined or split. If we tried to provide redirects for all the pages on the existing site, the redirects would become more and more broken over time. Redirecting the top level pages will still allow people to find the information they are looking for, without breaking as the content in XWiki evolves.
Just to be specific, individual pages *will* be redirected, but the redirect will be to the top level of the relevant collective, so for example http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/web/restructuring/site_features/ would end up as a redirect to http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+web/
