I'm really not convinced by that. Is it required by the standard? It's
really far from being compliant with the principle of least surprise.
Personnally, I don't expect my views to become updatable.

There should be an easy way to make a view become updatable but making
all of them updatable automagically on upgrade seems weird.

Another question related to the choice of explicit rules for the
implementation: if we change the way these rules are generated in 8.5,
will we upgrade all the existing rules? What if the user modified one
of them on purpose?
