I +1 changing the title and +1 having the redirect.  That said, I think
people landing in a page titled "predefined roles" when they're looking
for a page titled "default roles" would be quite confused for a while
and perhaps continue to search for the page they think they're looking
for.  (I know, it has happened to me.)  I suggest we add a very short
paragraph --maybe a <note>-- to the effect that feature-X used to be
called feature-Y, immediately following the section title.
