Well, I want to store up as little future work as possible. This
particular issue won't be much of a problem for several months until we
branch the code, as we don't do database adjustments for a same version
upgrade. At that stage I think a small modification to AdjustUpgrade.pm
will do the trick. We just need to remember to do it.
