Comment (by westonruter):

 Replying to [comment:3 obenland]:
 > I guess what we could do however is to not bail here and always try to
 restore from previous settings, essentially just giving that logic a
 chance to retrieve previously active widgets from the inactive side bar.
 That would still not move widgets back to `Footer 1` (rightfully, I'd
 argue), but it would restore `Footer 2`.

 I think this sounds right to me.
