Perhaps we had a bit of a misunderstanding here ... My point was, the
checks you mention have to always happen, not just optionally happen if
one uses the (by now quite misnamed) --reintegrate option. I'm not
arguing against sanity checks, quite the opposite, I'm arguing against
skipping them by default.
