As a small note, the issue is solved with current patches, however I think the 
best solution would be what I mentioned in the original PR message - an 
interface in `VetoableListDecorator` which would let us "roll-back" any changes 
from `onProposedChange` (ex. revert `childSet` to original state) when backing 
lists throw an exception. This would require a more thorough analysis of what 
bits use `VetoableListDecorator` and if any roll-backs are necessary there in 
addition to Parent code.
