And in terms of the JDO implementation, the only thing needed for it
to handle that seamlessly would be to support the use of a "default"
value for any new field, so when reading old data that doesn't have
that field it would apply the default value to the field. This is
specifiable in JDO metadata, so is only waiting for the GAE/J plugin
to be modified to use it.
