OK, right.
So say we forgot to include "the" in the default English stopwords
list (yes, an extreme example...).
"The" would be a bug fix. I think most users would expect that to be
fixed. They might be willing, as I would be, to require all their
indexes using that stopword list to be rebuilt.
How about a change that would be a bit more controversial, to which some
would agree and others would not.
I wonder how many people are creating metadata about indexes so that
they can track when an index could/should/must be rebuilt? Some kind of
"versioned tool chain info" for the index. If analyzers and filters can
change output then it needs to be tracked.
