Wiping (at least) some of the more database-y stuff from /var/local might be a good idea before attempting a significant (or maybe even a not so significant one) downgrade, because nothing in the process is intended to support database downgrades

IIRC, back in the olden days, at worst it just broke stuff at runtime, but there is a non-zero chance it could break the boot, which would be bad
