I don't think it could, because it doesn't know which ones you wish to

a binary of the previous version available, making it easy to roll back if
a problem arises.

Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn't pay enough postage on a
letter bomb. It came back with "return to sender" stamped on it.
Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits.
