Comment (by dd32):

 > If a failure in table insertion occurs, on a core table, that could
 leave sites completely unusable.

 Very few inserts exist which would result in that, and certainly very few
 in the upgrade routines. The proposal here doesn't actually add much, or
 any benefit to a user who ran into any such failure.

 I think specific tickets should be opened of the style "If x insert fails,
 WordPress attempts using `false` as the ID here.." or "WordPress assumes
 query X always succeeds, however when it doesn't, it proceeds to perform X
 which results in lost data".
