I'm kind of surprised this is not indicating a different class name
for the rich root repository; I guess it is parameterized internally.

In general upgrade should allow downgrading too, but if you have
created new revisions using rich-root data you won't be able to do
this or move them elsewhere.  In that case perhaps you need to upgrade
the public repository too.
