@JPercivall the reason is not to keep data in the flow. The reason is
because users often configure the dataflow in that way, and NiFi should handle
that case well. We do have some JIRAs to make handling this better, by dropping
ROUTE events if the FlowFile was routed back to the same connection that it
came from. This has not been done to date, though.
