No. I'm still not sure if this patch is good idea... I understand
why this safeguard is necessary. OTOH I'm afraid it increases
a bit the risk that users get unstartable database, i.e., lose whole database.
But maybe I'm concerned about rare case and my opinion is minority one.
So I'd like to hear more opinions about this patch.
