I've been busy for some time and wasn't able to follow this thread. Don't people love 2x DROP COLUMN ? I don't object to 2x DROP COLUMN if it could be implemented properly though I don't want to implement it myself. However I would strongly object to 2x ADD COLUMN if such implementations are proposed.
