Well, that it is impossible to keep a clean unmodified copy of an  
activity:

Or that the automatic saving will always move the activity to the top  
without anything the user can do about it:

And now hearing that versioning may not be supported at all in  
version 1.0 (besides of it not being available for testing even now)  
this will just lead to a system that's rather awkward to use. If  
indeed we cannot make the beautiful system work in time I'd rather  
give the users a choice.
