See http://newburyportion.com/nerd/2005/11/halfbaked-cherrypy for some of the motivation. In CP 2.2, InternalRedirect? could be a generic "let's rewrite the objectPath" mechanism.

Fixed in [879]. Only the "before_main" filter can raise InternalRedirect?. It makes little sense for the others to do so; they occur either too early or too late in the conversation. We're don't want to re-parse request headers or try to re-read the request body, and separating those method calls from their associated filters is asking for a codebase nobody will be able to understand or maintain. It would be silly for us to require *all* of the filters to be re-runnable.

So we're in a limbo state right now--the specific feature (raise InternalRedirect? in before_main) is available now, but a lot of the corner case behaviors are undefined, and will remain so until the death of filters.
