+Now that's getting very hackish.
+I'd rather not have many programs wrapped in scripts that would do some
+magic on my home dir under the hood. Because with such a &quot;solution&quot; the
+programs would be always wrapped, even if you never do a rollback.
+How would such script detect that it actually was a rollback and it should
+do his magic on the config files.
+What would happen if the user did not run that program between the update
+and the rollback?
+
+It seems the complexity is not worth the benefit, and those scripts are
+likely to not be well tested and might make things worse if things are not
+like they expected.
