1.3 it was a real pain in the neck, though I never had a need to rebuild
the DB, I did ave to do a bit of fix-up. I really, really wish Bapt had
listened and held up the default to pkg for a bit. Much as I like it, it
really was not ready for prime time when it became the default. The early

Nailed it!
The problem with that is its a chicken and egg situation, without it
hitting prime time it likely wouldn't have got the needed use to
identify and subsequently fix the issues you're referring to; at the
very least it would have slowed that process down :(
