An exception should be noted that a DBA can only plan ahead so much
when given a customer that doesn't know what they want and doesn't
listen to the DBA. :)

"I want A". Ok.
"No, A+B". Hm, Ok, not that big a problem.
"A+B, with a little C". You can't have C with B. "We have to have C."
I told you at the start you couldn't have B with C starting with A. "We
must have C". Fine, C will be forced in.
"Actually, just C and B, not so much A". But C requires A! "So, make
it not require A, we don't need A, so C shouldn't either" Fine,
whatever, A is gone.
"Lets go with A and C, we've dropped B completely." AAAGGH!!

Just a bit of venting from having a alpha application used as release
quality despite my repeated protests that it should not be used as such.
