In a real database, dropping a column is easy (although not automated by Django, barring an extension like South). In sqlite (used on the demo at geonode.capra.opengeo.org) it is impossible; you have to dump the data and rebuild the database. But that kind of offline massaging is also required for some other changes currently in discussion (see the thread on background layers which has evolved into a discussion of projections in map configurations). So I am +1 on dropping the 'featured' bit. > > Neither of these reasons seem particularly strong, but I wanted to ask > first. >
