I don't understand why it is so much a deal that 9.1 has a different CSV
table definition than 9.0 anyway (or any two release combination). As
long as both are clearly and correctly documented in the respective
pages, it shouldn't be an issue at all. If anyone attempts to load CSV
log files into the wrong table definition, the problem should make
itself evident pretty quickly.
