id_policy:
article_ids: 'An article keeps its id between releases unless a release renumbers or merges articles, as 1.5 did. Then the old id still answers: /articles?id= with 308 to the new id, and POST /api/v1/ids/translate maps old ids to new ones.'
addresses: An address (slug) can move; the old address still answers, with moved_from naming it.
topic_ids: Topic and geography ids can change when a tree is revised; a moved topic id answers 301 to its new id.
removed: A removed article answers 410.
