Good, I'd like to use that "mild" expression in the manual. Although the expression is mild, the reality for users is not, is it?
Because the UDF developers and users cannot easily or correctly determine if rebuilding is necessary, nervous (enterprise) users will rebuild their UDFs with each minor release for the maximum safety as Michael does.
