Its definitely worth creating a JIRA issue for so that there's a place
for discussion. This has been brought up a couple times, but no one to
my knowledge has had a good idea of how to solve the issue.
For instance, if a single view breaks, all views will need to be
rebuilt when that view is fixed anyway. The only thing that comes to
mind right now is to have better error reporting so users know what's
broken.
