 > If WordPress were to have such a feature,
 `redirect_guess_404_permalink()` would not be the way to go; we'd want to
 instead do something like store the old rules, and process them for 404s.
 Personally, I wouldn't want such a feature, as it would mean significantly
 more effort to display 404s, and would make every WordPress site more
 vulnerable to DOS attacks.
 I agree with you. Feature to process the old rules would make WordPress
 vulnerable. You are right, this must be a plugin.
 I propose to create an automatic redirects for pages only. No need to
 process old rewrite rules. Permalink structure changes very rare. In my
 case - once at the beginning. But pages moves from root to subpages
 frequently on site growth. What do you think, should it also be a plugin?
