> Currently, new/extra columns get reported on startup but then are ignored. This allows evolving the schema without immediately breaking existing installs. However, we won't know whether a value in a new column was put there deliberately or just wasn't updated properly by old code.
> Idea:
> - add a new "VERSION" column
> - when inserting/updating rows, record the DB schema version understood by the code doing the update
> Advantages:
> - allows relatively easy check what versions of code are writing to the DB
> - inexpensive
> - helps finding rows that need a migration step
> Disadvantage:
> - the row itself will be unreliably until all instances connecting to the DB maintain it
