You might have valid use cases to downgrade mysql, if you are okay not |
| 8 |
preserving data. I'd assume it's a common knowledge that downgrade of |
| 9 |
any data store, be that database or likes like elasticsearch, will |
| 10 |
corrupt the data. |

To make it actually useful I think we'd need new EAPI feature |
| 13 |
'downgrade-protection', that unless is explicit ignored like |
| 14 |
--ignore-downgrade-protection mysql, it would prevent it from happening. |
