As designed Permanent Redirects Hard Deleted if Main Thread Soft Deleted

The title says it all.

To reproduce...

Move a thread to any forum, leave a permanent redirect.
Soft deleted the main thread.
The permanent redirect will be hard deleted.
 
This is done intentionally. We never internally soft delete redirects and the assumption is that if you're deleting (or unapproving) a thread, it's unlikely to come back.
 
I can understand that logic, but accidents happen and by not soft deleting redirects, when the accident is corrected the redirects no longer exist. ;)
