It may be a valid point, but just in theory. I fully trust that DBAL
development is in safe hands... :-)

I don't expect that someone is going to play bad games, but it may well
happen by mistake to anyone of us. As I said, it just can be noticed
much easier this way... (or did you ever check the log of an SVN tag?)
