OK, fair enough. My implication that only page formats were at issue

prepared to write code that can understand old binary formats (on the
tuple, page, or relation level) if we want this to work and work
reliably. I believe that there has been much resistance to that idea.
We keep looking for cheaper alternatives. There may not be any...
Yeah. I think we might need to bite the bullet on that and start
thinking more about different strategies for handling page versioning to
satisfy various needs. I've been convinced for a while that some sort of
versioning scheme is inevitable, but I do understand the reluctance.
