During the 3.x releases, we had an optional database change for MySQL to change TEXT to MEDIUMTEXT; I don't think there was a required one, but I don't remember.
In any case, that's a good point about the other projects and how they handle these things. So I'd agree then that we can have a database upgrade. Bowen, please make sure to verify that the database upgrade works for 2.x to 4.1, 3.x to 4.1, and 4.0 to 4.1 and for each type.
