I strongly disagree (note: this is not a comment on the script posted but a
general remark). Your standpoit assumes that the person asking for a solution is
able to judge the quality/completeness/bugs /corner cases of the solution provided
before running the script. But a person with such knowlege would never need to ask
for such a solution. And "if they are affected" might translate into "once they've lost
valuable data".

It does have such an option.
