Newly uploaded files get "fromdevid" set, which replication will be forced to
use.
If there's a glitch; files get over-replicated, then knocked back down, it's
possible the fromdevid copy gets deleted. After that point replication gets
stuck.
I can't think of why that thing is even necessary. We should stop using the
field for new file uploads, and if it's used anywhere it shouldn't be a hard
failure.
