Comment (by Clorith):

 Had a quick look, and the concept isn't bad.

 I would prefer if it used core constants for the expiry-time, instead of
 plain numbers, it makes it easier to discern what the time actually is,
 and would probably also do well with a filter to modify the expiry time.
 The default time of 30 minutes sounds reasonable though.

 Using `30 * MINUTE_IN_SECONDS` would make this default much clearer.

 I noticed the restore feature is hooked to `registered_taxonomy`, this
 needs a much earlier hook, a quick test with `init` shows that even that
 is too late. WordPress does an automatic redirect to the URL configured,
 and that redirect is a 301, which means browsers will cache the redirect,
 making it near impossible for the average user to utilize the restore URL.

 For the part that's not done yet, which I personally think is the more
 important aspect of this, the loopback to check if a new URL will still
 work before the user is locked out, this should be one function for all of
 core (I've made mention of this elsewhere as well today), and I would
 prefer to see a proper implementation of such a function for use here
 first.
