How do we handle the case you mentioned, maybe a module that has been removed 
since a record was made? Is the solution that we encapsulate WAL from those 
kind of changes, and keep the WAL records same for everyone,irrespective 
whether they use an external module or not(I inferred this from Heikki's 
idea,or am I missing something here?)
