I'm a bit confused.  As the code stood, it did delete the data in the
partitions.  If it did not, then loading the new records would fail.

Furthermore, the new code deletes the contents of the 'old' partitions,
but I'm worried:  If the new provision is configured not to use LDAP
(for example), we will now go off and wipe the old LDAP server.

That is why the old code wiped man DB, initialised the partitions
records, and then wiped the partitions data.
