   Thanks for providing this insight @markap14 . Originally I thought this was a bug because of the inconsistency of loading the flow definition from a file vs from the connection response - but I understand now that its intentional. 
   
   I've been using this change on a fork of NiFi for 6 months or so now and haven't run into any of the edge cases you've identified but I understand that they can exist. And I certainly don't want to introduce a change that adds unwanted risk to the normal NiFi upgrade process. 
   
   Would you be open to the idea of introducing this change as an opt-in feature that is enabled with a flag in `nifi.properties`? That would allow more folks to test this capability in a "use at your own risk" fashion so we could better understand the impact and what additional changes would be necessary to fully support rolling upgrades in the future.
