Coudln't the database format be versioned? We could then keep apart the code that work on a given version, to always be able to deserialize it... For such alpha versions it's obviously not worth the effort in the long term, but for stable releases it would probably be great. That would also be a strong argument to use Elephant, as users would not have to be afraid of losing their data. Or maybe an alternative would be to provide some verbose and inefficient serialization scheme that could be used as an intermediary when changing a database version...
