downgrade

Downgrade matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around moving, restoring, or rolling back sites without failed handoffs, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Migration and recovery failures are high-stress events with expensive cleanup. The entry wedge is to preflight migrations, verify restores, and show exactly what failed before a handoff.
