While in a perfect world we wouldn't have any schema changes two things jump out at me in this case. 1. We have precedent in doing schema changes in bugfix (both 4.0.1 and 4.1.1 had some schema changes) 2. We already have some schema changes in 4.2.1 (admittedly, just a change in a view, but still a schema change) --David
