by

In your example, the author rewrite pattern changes from /author/[authorname]/ to /[author_level]/[author_name]/. If we allow [author_level] to be anything, we will get into conflict with the rules for pages, because /[anything]/[anything]/ can be either an author archive or a regular subpage.

by

Does WP keep track of a posts url history, providing rewrites/redirects for former urls? Yes it does. If you change a post slug, wordpress 301 redirects the old to the new URL (if your server setup allows it). Any light on how WP handles this would be appreciated.
