Downsizing of a managed database

Downsizing a database is especially useful when you expect a high amount of traffic coming in and you temporarily upgrade your database. After that period you would be able to downsize your database to its needed performance tier.
Also having to fork the cluster, changing all the Uri strings in your applications, adding the latest data to the database is very inconvenient and could just be solved with this feature, which I'm sure a lot of users want.
