My objection was to the equivalence between A->B->C and A->C under your proposal. This is mostly a consequence of the limitations of the aka-syntax as applied to introspection. I have no problem with the concept of introspection itself, and the proposal I floated specifically mentions introspection as a tactic that can be used, both for validation and for identifying required migrations. > btw, i must have missed your proposal.
