Note a danger with this is that rolling back to "read-old" mode will remove access to the data in those slots.
If wikitext in the main slot or other pages can access the data in the non-main slots (e.g. via Scribunto or parser functions), that wikitext will break.
If pages

@Anomie you are correct, but I don't see this as a huge problem, for two reasons:
rolling back to main-slot-only after people have started to use extra slots extensively is unlikely.
if it does happen, it would be temporary
the breakage would not be worse than what you get
