We should encourage a db rebuild anyway because of the flush changes.
This is a different story though. If we need to do this, then we don't really have any choice. We need some docs on how to go about it though. Is there anything that prevents adding the database configuration as a file? So we can tell people to backup their database by dumping the entire contents using export and then restoring using import? Would the database config need to be handled in any special manner?
Hmmm... In theory, there shouldn't be any special considerations, but I'll think about it more.
One other thing that will potentially require a rebuild will be the changes we'll need to make to workaround DOS reserved filenames.
