As a curious coincidence, we're deploying a database patch right now
that contains logic to fix the data to fit in the new schema.
I'm sure having automatic schema migration is nice for simple cases,
but I would personally not trust our data to such a tool.  This
becomes even more obvious knowing that this patch has been created
by one developer, and reviewed by two other developers, before
going to production.
