Which only proves we ended up with yet another broken, pointless spec
that's missing the point and can't be implemented sanely. I don't see
a point discussing it further.

vapier was working on it but it would probably involve lot more
politics than we can handle right now. He's got some script to fix live
systems but it is a quite dangerous operation by design, so I'm not
convinced we really want to play with live systems like that.
