Heh,
I guess I phrased it poorly

I want to know if the FIXES are going to require a new database. It wont do much good to have backup copies of your old data if those datafiles either a) still contain the 'bugs' or b) arent compatible with the new patch.
This is what I'm concerned about. That the patch changes will be implemented in new data files which will be required to replace the ones I've (we've) already made. What I would like to see is that any 'patch changes' to data be clearly indicated so that Users of custom data can simply 'cut and paste' the updated areas into their custom data.
Thanx,
Talenn
