 * Hi Matt,
 * Thank you for the plugin!
 * Does your plugin roll back WordPress itself ie. 4.7.2 -> 4.7.1 ?
 * Best wishes,

 * Hey [@99pluginsbuthellodollyaintone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/99pluginsbuthellodollyaintone/)–
   I *could* but it doesn’t currently. I think this would be a pretty dangerous 
   option, that’s why we’ve left it out. Also, I don’t think that would be well 
   received by the core team and they may remove our plugin from the repo if we 
   added it.
 * I’m glad you like the plugin otherwise though! Please let me know if you have
   anymore questions.

 * Great plugin!
 * I agree that this would be a useful feature, and dangerous, but I wouldn’t worry
   about the WordPress developers. We have seen a few cases where (premium) plugins
   break when WordPress core is updated. Because the plugins were premium, access
   to prior (or newer) versions was not easy or even possible. Being able to rollback
   the WordPress core was really the only option. HTH as a use case.

 * I just learned of a different plugin that does Core downgrades… BACKUPS!!
