Hmm...single point of failure...Bad Thing(TM).

If this can cause a system to become unusable to the point of requiring
reinstallation, perhaps its design should be rethought; maybe a shadow
copy, or something similar.  (A consideration that perhaps should be
given to any single point-of-failure data element.)
