As I understand it, when you upgrade OR wipe the "system" drive and you install a fresh copy of OS X, regardless of OS X version, the recovery partition is affected as well.
For example, I have a Mac Mini server, this server came with Snow Leopard, currently it is running Mountain Lion. So, if I want to perform a recovery, it will look to Mountain Lion as the most recent OS X version and not SL which came with the server.
I would like to protect the recovery partition so it is not affected by an OS X upgrade OR a complete wipe and OS X reinstall.
