if people found problems in production that can't be workaround-ed easily, they must downgrade as fast as possible. If you create different BLR for compatible procedures, that downgrade will not be possible anymore with gbak. We need, I think, a safe approach of metadata extraction (I'm not sure ISQL is safe), and data extraction/reload.
