I switched my weewx box running the beta over to the new extended schema. 
 This is great stuff.

Here's an example of what you can do with it.   This is a grafana dashboard 
overlaying maxSolarRad as calculated by weewx with sensor readings from 
three different WeatherFlow stations.  It's more data for the vendor to 
help tweak their sensors 'continuous learning' tunings.   (I'm a beta 
tester)

New weewx systems running v4 will get the new extended schema by default.

Existing weewx systems have a few steps to update to the new schema, if you 
choose to do so:

   - stop weewx
   - wee_database --reconfigure
   - wee_database --rebuld-daily
   - copy the modified db into place
   - start weewx

The two wee_database commands take quite some time depending on your 
hardware and amount of data.  On my Seagate Dockstar (super old pogoplug 
clone basically with all ram used) it took over 90 minutes to reconfigure 
the db.   I have 11 years of data however, so it's a lot of records.

When I did the same thing in a VM running on my i3 NUC and it took only 3 
minutes.  The rebuild_daily also took 3 minutes there.   I then copied the 
file back to my wimpy weewx system and it ran just fine.

Bottom line, throw hardware at the conversion if you can, if you have lots 
of old data.
