It's irreversible, once we release a version with a bumped ID we

But the question is whether we've bumped *any* versions of common
devices since 0.15 because if so, it's moot here.
What's the answer? And if the answer is we did, why did we?
Once any device bumps a version id, migration is incompatible.
Subsections are nice for stable branches, but they don't solve
inter-version compatibility.
Why not? Though I agree it's a long shot to get it to work, since there
are so many changes and it's easy to get any one of them wrong.
You had an idea once to fingerprint the migration format and compare it
across versions? I assume the almighty visitor can make this very simple?
Most importantly, subsections are broken today so until we
straighten things out there, we can't rely on them.
Let's not throw a permanent baby out with the temporary bath water.
