Current behavior would be an exact fit for a few use cases we have. 
Attempting to salvage some portion of the data on startup after a
crash would yield it unusable for the uses I have in mind.  It would
have either all be there, or all gone.
 
That's not to knock use cases others may have, just providing a data
point.
