You deploy into your production environment from within the GUI development tools without assurance that what's going into production is in version control and independent of the peculiarities of your personal machine when MSDeploy doesn't have a clear rollback process.

Yikes.

You've absolutely been able to roll back with MSDeploy since it was released - http://forums.iis.net/post/1970816.aspx

This suggestion is ridiculous. You can right-click Publish from the Visual Studio integration, but at no point are you told about packages or the ability to rollback.

That's what I meant by "clear" ... there is no clear ability to rollback from a VS-initiated MSDeploy.

Well clearly to do it from the UI you would open the previous version of the source that you want to deploy and then click Publish again.
