Thanks for all your work and thinking about this issue, guys, and most
of all your patches!

I too am unsure whether or not to follow Rails' migration behaviour
too closely. I don't have anything against timestamps, but equally I
feel that the problem they attempt to address is far less likely to be
encountered by plugin developers than application developers (and even
then it was relatively rare and could be solved by communication).

So, I'm hesitant to make significant changes at the moment, until
we've reached a better understanding of the implications (thanks for
starting the discussion by the way, Tekin!).

Perhaps a useful way to approach this, for the moment and while Rails
itself settles down, is to consider what is currently broken with
plugin migrations. As I understand it, the main issue is that
migrations generated in an application cannot be moved into plugins
because they are named with timestamps. Is that correct?
