For some applications that makes sense.
Look: you have an old database without new data types and an old application that works with it. The only way to put this old
application into troubles is to _change_ type of an old field because with newly added tables and fields the application will be
fine as it has no idea about them.
Now tell me: does changing of old fields into new datatypes really make
sense?
You have never worked in environment where database evolving constantly and
there is
a lot of old a new apps that should work together for a some (probably long)
time.
