Is the meaning of "has gone to" here "moved to", "changed to"?

NYT

Quote:

Mr. Zucker has no apologies. He noted that " everybody has gone to supersizing now, " pointing to the routine extra couple of minutes that are now included by every network in most big hit shows.

Edited to add "changed to".

Doesn't "moved to" sometimes have that meaning?
