Hi All, I suspect there will be a significant database schema update to go along with this. Moving node tags into their own table is a decent change in itself. I couldn't see anything on the new 0.6 API page describing any of this.
My main interest is from an osmosis perspective which is under the "further, less important stuff" heading. Perhaps it's not a priority now, but I'd hope we can continue to have daily, hourly and minute changesets running at the point of cutover. If the aim is to deploy over the next few weeks this might be a problem, my time is fairly limited at the moment.
