Because of...??
Rule #1 of vbulletin is:
ALWAYS make a backup of a database before modifying it.
...No matter how small or large the site is.
.....ALWAYS!!!

As long as you have a backup, reverting to it is simple.
Simple as that.
But I STILL do not recommend attempting this on a live site yet.
At this point, in my estimation, you should be testing with a test site.
This doesn't go for "my hack" ... it goes for vbulletin in general.
If you MUST play with a live site, then I STRONGLY recommend waiting until vbulletin RC3 comes out .... and my subsequent release which will follow it .... so you will be able to read my product's onscreen installation messages!!! Currently this is NOT POSSIBLE but Mike from Jelsoft was kind enough to address this issue and I'll need to see his new fix before I can recode my display messages.
