Best use of Subversion for Aegir

Help

I use Subversion for all my projects and up until now I just keep versions of programs that I write for sites in version control and when everything is perfect commit to the trunk and relax knowing that I can put custom Drupal code back on the server if it gets corrupted or lost - but it occurs to me that this might be a good idea for entire sites.

On the other hand, that does nothing for MySQL entries that drive the sites.

What I am wondering is this, with users doing stupid things (not me, no never me) it is easy to see the possibility that someone will eventually mess up something on a site that is active and restoring from backups could be less than ideal. It is also possible that custom modules exist on one site and not another - or get removed or modified in different ways site by site.

Is it reasonable to use version control on the Aegir folders (I am thinking config and hostmaster-0.4-*) and does that indeed buy me anything?
