Summary: Figure out how to test for database backwards
incompatibilities

Sometimes database changes are made to core (not likely) or deployed extensions
(much more likely) that are not backwards compatible. It's things like new
tables or schema changes.
In production, these are handled manually. In the Beta Cluster, we run
update.php on a regular basis. As such, finding errors (and not having them
magically disappear) is hard.
I'm not (necessarily?) proposing to stop running update.php regularly.
I am trying to figure out a way to catch these types of mistakes before we have
outages in production.
