what is the issue with database changes?

[Thomas De Schampheleire]

Hi,

Regularly I hear that we don't want to change the model yet to stay
backwards compatible.

However, I do see several 'dbmigrate' scripts in the source base,
which hint at it being possible to migrate across database changes.

Can someone explain in more detail why we do not want such database
changes (yet)?

Thanks,
Thomas
