As long as we are talking REST; I got to talk to a few GeoServer users over
coffee and they indicated that the REST api was not "complete" with respect to
letting them back up and restore a configuration outside of their app.
Apparently for managing styles they could successfully remove a style, in order
then replace it with an older version. But for many of the other resource types
there was no way to remove and replace.
They assumed that this was obvious and we would be working on it; I very much
requested a bug report and patch.
