Famous last words! :) (Several times we've been absolutely assured that X will _never_ happen. So we base our architecture on that. A <time duration="soon"/> later, "we need to implement X". sigh. We (devs) now architect with the assumption that X will happen.) Seriously, just set the upgrade code. GUIDs are cheap. If you will never upgrade, nothing is lost. But if you do ... major pain averted!
