I guess it comes down to use case... Do we honestly expect admins to
regret and upgrade and downgrade instead of just restoring from
backup? If so, then we need to have backup tables for the cases where
we can't reconstruct the data (i.e. it was provided by users and
therefore not something we can calculate).
