Schemas should mostly only change if the *business rules* or structure
of the biz changes. If a new rule trickles to other apps, then it
trickles to other apps because a change in biz is a change in biz.
Again, we would like to see specific common change scenarios. We are
not going to take your word for it, because you are a sneaky dog.
