Actually no there are still issues. Let us channel the discussion here, 
spreading the discussion across multiple threads is getting confusing. 
Especially when series rely on other unlanded series.

So far, we have a regression at hand and no known path forward fully 
solving the issue. I would like you to slow down and discuss possible 
alternative to backout in this thread. Please to not rush to writing 
code and do not send a new series until we reached a consensus here on 
the problem space and a viable solution.
