To be honest, I really just don't find this to be *that* difficult and
an intuitive set of rules which are well documented feels like it'd
cover 99% of the cases. pg_dump would preserve the times (though it
could be optional), replicas should as well, etc. We haven't even
started talking about the 'hard' part, which would be a 'modification'
type of field..
