I can give one reason for giving the relocation message -- you may be
trying to migrate a server from one location to another. In that
instance, you'll want to leave up notices of the change for a while (long
enough for people to fix their pointers), but you don't want to leave up
the old server permanently. After all, what's the point of moving the
server if you've still got the old server giving out redirections? :)
