[Cosmo-dev] bug: 7127 move ContentItem.content and content* properties to table fields

[Ted Leung]

So over in Chandler, there have been lots of schema changes.   It was  
only fairly recently that Chandler could detect that the schema of  
the local store had changed.   Before that, we had a practice of  
sending a note to the dev list letting people know that the schema  
had changed.

Would this be a worthwhile practice for us to adopt?   I know that  
all the committers are reading every commit message, but there are  
folks on this list who might be impacted by such changes, and who may  
not be reading the commit logs...
