Isn't this is the approach that has always been taken in the past?
I think that we should bite the bullet and implement this approach.
The only issue, really, is how to detect that situation from the FE
so that it can itself ask the user for confirmation before it sends
the command... Or perhaps, another approach is to return an error
(like it probably does now) that the frontend detect, and then provide
a switch for that command to force the execution of that command despite
the reported consequences.
