We can certainly require reindexing as a part of the upgrade process
between major or minor (but not patch) releases. I would however
prefer to keep such extra manual steps to a minimum to keep things
smooth.

There may well be a set of backwards incompatible changes in the 1.4
release, and Jackrabbit 2.0 will most likely require a more complex
upgrade process, so we do have a few good windows of opportunity
coming up for reindexing or other such changes.
