[...big snip...]
BTW, whenever we deprecate an entity in OFBiz there are certain things that now MUST be done or all committers should reject the
patch:
1. rename the entity to deprecate by adding an "Old" prefix to it, then specify a table-name attribute on the entity so it still
points to the same table in the database
2. create a new entity the replaces the old one, and comment on that fact
3. implement a service to move data from the old/deprecated entity to the new
one
You'll see this pattern used in a few places. This is kind of the way that users in general have some sort of hope of being able
to update from one revision of OFBiz to another.
