How do we handle the case you mentioned, maybe a module that has been removed since a record was made? Is the solution
thatwe encapsulate WAL from those kind of changes, and keep the WAL records same for everyone,irrespective whether they
usean external module or not(I inferred this from Heikki's idea,or am I missing something here?)
