From a high level, whats the difference between a webapp thats stopped and a webapp thats undeployed?

One could call stopped a special scenario. In the past - a 503 was returned to the user. Now its a 404. IIRC ... it changed to 404 as part of a bug report but maybe that is the wrong change to make. (Too lazy to look up the bug report)

[Personally - I'd rather stick apache in front let apache trap the condition during the outage window and not worry about the rest.]

 From a user point of view, if I have an app (which is not the root
webapp) and I stop it, then all requests should then go to the root
webapp.

Is that really true?  If the webapp is undeployed, I can understand that 
unmatched requests will be handled by ROOT, but a stopped webapp is still known 
to Tomcat, just not available.
