I kind of agree with Hiroshi here. All I want to be able to do is drop columns from my tables, and reclaim the space. I've got all sorts of production tables with columns just sitting there doing nothing, awaiting the time that I can happily drop them. It seems to me that whatever we do will require some kind of client breakage.
