A delay is certainly possible. I don’t want to hold things up too long on the other end of production, of course. If I roll the change back, temporarily, in puppet, then we could still provide fixes and things without the table changes during the interim. I’d rather not leave it staged and unapplied for too terribly long. As I said, the _compat tables are there to provide a quick fix where possible, and it should be noted that those fields are currently blank (or filled in by the compat tables). This will break things that explicitly reference the fields, though.
I can give it another week, I think, if that helps.
