Easy to say if you're not one of the people for whom such a change
would mean weeks of recoding, the need to start QA'ing everything from
scratch again and a hideous mess of code to cope with after adding
support for a new version with a different catalog schema.

Besides - what percentage of users ever go anywhere near the
catalogs? I'd guess a fraction of a percent of users, and maybe 1 - 5%
of developers.
