It's been tested and such, we should probably get around to un-commenting it one day.

Either of you guys know how stable this is in core/1.17?
And hence, whether you feel we should do this and backport to 1.17?

It has been pretty stable. I believe there is still one issue though. I seem to remember there is not a proper rollback of the actions if one of the move's actions fails. This has happened a few times this year (mostly due to filesystem problems ???), resulting in part of the file record being move (thumbs separated from originals, originals separated from page record). I believe some improvements were made in this area, but i'm not sure we solved them all. Haven't heard about such a thing in a couple of months though.

I've looked into this a bit, and while it is ok, I would like to implement better error handling (similar to file restore: copy-verify-dbupdate-cleanup). Can we hold this off until 1.18?
