Yes!

I was thinking for 1.8 we could remove skip-handling only for nodes that
have a particular tree conflict flagged (incoming edit vs. local moved-away).
This way, we can allow updating a conflicted move source to single-rev and
prevent any other (unforeseen) side effects of removing the skip handling.
I am not sure what those side effects might be. I'd just like to be careful
about making gratuitous changes at this point in the release cycle.
However, if it is generally safe and simpler to not skip on update at
all, then let's do that.
