If it can be fixed up by implementing previously-used-id constraints within the 
1.4 release time frame, I would say do that. We don't /need/ it at Cambridge, 
but it is the right way to deal with the problem since it involves moving 
forwards rather than backwards. Of course, I don't know if something more 
important gets knocked out by choosing to do this, but on the information I 
have this is the decision I would recommend.
