Capistrano rollback_with_migrations

Is there a reason why there is no built in task rollback_with_migrations in capistrano? Before I go look at the source and try overriding that method, I thought there might be a good reason why it's not there that I haven't though of.

Anyone know?

In my experience DDL isn't generally under transaction control, so there isn't really a safe way to rollback; ie you don't know how much or little was successful.

Although I understand that postgres has support for transactions around DDL.
