Maybe we could have a "BalancerPersist try" option which would remove/reset the existing persistent files/SHMs when the sizes change (either corrupted files or this kind of upgrade change). That could save the admin from having to locate the relevent files/SHMs (on disk/ipc/dev) and remove them, which is not obvious when you have multiple httpd instances running and only some of them need this administrative cleanage (the others keep running), since the names of the files/SHMs is not "configurable" (the ID based on servername/line/.. is finally ap_proxy_hashfunc()ed for practical reasons) and can hardly be related to an httpd instance...
