For what it's worth, AWS prevents you from deleting an EBS snapshot
that backs an AMI. So if you de-register the wrong one, you can still
re-register it back from that. You'll get a different AMI ID though,
and there is nothing I'm aware of that you can do about that.

Ah yeah, I recall that. The problem is the ID though, which yeah, you can't get back.
Don't want to accidentally delete something people might be using in their scripts.
