They'll still be problems.

We could possibly try to add some more backend validation and throw errors for
invalid item types, but I even that could be bypassed by people inserting
directly into the database with migration scripts, so I'm not sure how
effective that would be in the end either.

Fixing these problems is quite annoying as well, because you have to update the
database and then reindex all affected records, which on a large database can
be quite time intensive at the very least. 

I don't have any good answers on this one I think. For now, I thought we could
add the client-side validation to try steering things in a better direction.
But I'm open to ideas.
