But "content requirements change" isn't the same as "left things out of
their tree". It sounds, and I haven't seen the changes, so I'm not
certain that the meaning behind a field changed. Something like that
should change the dt version. New fields aren't a problem. Changing
existing fields meaning in incompatible ways is a problem.
