Comment:

 > I agree that claiming these existing pages isn't great, but I think it's
 better than creating domain.com/activity-2.

 Really? You think it's better to hijack an existing page than to have an
 ugly 'activity-2' slug? Or do you mean it's better to to hijack an
 existing page than to have the reinstallation issue?

 I'm still pretty unconvinced that anyone other than a developer messing
 around with the database is ever going to run into the 'activity-2' issue
 - I've never seen it in the wild myself - but the point is not important
 enough to argue anymore. I only reopened the ticket to make it clear that
 there may be consequences to the solution you chose. If you feel strongly
 about it, let's just make a note (maybe in the codex) that will advise
 folks on what to do if they do happen to find their content hijacked.
