That's inconvenient and annoying because it leaves the user with manual work to be done to restore the site to a 100% syncable state, but any data loss beyond that would be the result of user error, not a direct consequence of this bug. So I'm going ahead and downgrading. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
