There are two reasons for this:

1) It's not something that in the past we have recommended as a  
solution because of the potential problems (overwriting IDs, getting  
DBs out of sync, etc).

2) We did have, incomplete, information and advice in the manual,  
which was removed to be part of a new topology chapter. This new  
chapter is currently being written :)
