It's probably not a good idea to put a new workflow there.  Any links to 
the old workflow would give the new one.  Imagine your paper cites 
Katy's wonderful workflow but it is now replaced with my crappy one. 
Or, if your workflow included Katy's but now pulled in mine.

It's better for myExperiment to say the workflow has gone missing rather 
than "lie" when asked for it.
