Well, yes. The fact is you would be at the mercy of minor changes in that data which would make your 'data' worthless. As simple as, for example:
'Next month we are going to transform all our utf-8 fields into utf-32 and we are going to add some padding to your data, for analytics'.
You would have to cope with that.

Yes, all of the sites could make breaking changes at the same time, but then all of the disks in your raid array could die at the same time too... Hence backups.
