It *is* possible to clobber your database if you rely on ubik

is if you bring up enough servers to establish a quorum, but don't
give them a valid copy of the database, they'll create a new
empty one.  That new copy will overwrite any older copy you might
subsequently supply.

If/when we actually do any work on Ubik improvements, we ought to figure out a way to make this more robust. I _want_ people to be able to upgrade their servers by adding one server at a time, or a whole bunch, or whatever, and not screw themselves.
