Yeah. I think that originally we expected that the definition of the
stats might change fast enough that porting them cross-version would be
problematic. Subsequent experience has shown that they don't actually
change any faster than any other aspect of the catalogs. So, while
I do think we must have a plan for how to cope when/if the definition
changes, I don't buy Bruce's argument that it's going to require more
maintenance effort than any other part of the system does.
