Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-4664:
---------------------------------------------

bq. We've allowed that in every major release

I though we weren't allowing it but that's my bad, the only thing we forbid is 
to modify the system schema. I still don't think it's wise per se (and I think 
the fact that CQL3 exposes the system table in a human readable way will make 
it more tempting/easy for some to try to be smart though I may well be wrong) 
but I do lift my objections.
