   According to the spec `last-column-id` is ```An integer; the highest assigned column ID for the table. This is used to ensure columns are always assigned an unused ID when evolving schemas.``` 
   
   I interpret that as it should always keep increasing so that we ensure that unused IDs are assigned to new columns.
   
   @Fokko what do you think?
