Why?

If a player has recalled his fleet then he has every right to expect it to be safe. A rollback means that his fleet is placed back into the position it was in before he decided to recall and it risks being completely destroyed. This is a far more serious outcome than any of the other (perfectly valid) scenarios that are being discussed at the moment.
Quoted from another of the interminable number of threads we've had on this subject.
