Ron,
Can you say something about C3 and migrating the object database
across model refactorings ... didn't you have to upgrade / convert an
old version object to its latest form every couple of weeks or so?
How did you do that, if not with 'becomes:' (which is how I'd always
assumed you'd done it).
thanks
