Beware: on site renaming, initial Url preserved as ReadOnly site collection

Last year Microsoft delivered the long-requested capability to change the address of a SharePoint Online site collection. One of the features is that any request to the original / initial site address, is seamless mapped to the renamed site address. An unexpected side-effect is that on SharePoint tenant level a placeholder site collection is created to deliver this site mapping / redirection.
