They're still doing things like changing the repository structure, though.

The only real problem is if you have to backup/restore the whole smash for some reason, as the process is incredibly slow since restoring simply replays every transaction in sequence on the new databases. In the words of mutt, it may suck, but it sucks less than everything else.
