I've written it in [[Talk.ExtensibleByOmission]], but I'll rephrase it here: It's a wiki, not a multi-platform, multi-system, fool-proof, implementation-independent code framework. If the wiki admin changes something -- upgrades version, installs new plugins, imports page database, etc. -- it's is natural to check the results and possibly run some simple search-and-replaces in case of conflicts. Even if the fault is not detected immediately, it's easily fixed by the first user who sees it. Dead wikis, with no users correcting the page text are safe too -- they obviously don't receive parser upgrades or new modules.
I can see three most common scenarios:
* A wiki that uses native markup adopts Creole, either in mixed mode or as the new markup. All the pages need to be checked and maybe even converted anyways.
* A new wiki is created, and uses Creole and some of CreoleAdditions. After some growth, the community decides to add some new markup that is needed -- the admin writes appropriate plugin or module, and picks the markup that is the least likely to conflict with existing page database. If there is high possibility of conflicts, then the pages are checked.
* Some text is moved between two wikis supporting Creole. The user who pastes the text checks proper rendering.
