Since people will actually always disagree, I suggest that whether corrupt revlibs should be automatically remade or not should be configurable (via `.arch-params'). Additionally, the default IMO should be to _not_ rebuild the revlib since corruption is not something that people should expect in the common case. However, it is true that having it configurable could also solve the problem of some "uncommon" cases (IMO), such as backup/restore, in an automatic way. The point is: do not make the automatic revlib recreation behavior compulsory.
