Funnily enough, and that was my perspective, in this case a configuration switch only adds two if-then-else in the common SQL plugins code. Whereas impact of a new schema version you can verify it yourself by grepping the source code for 'sql_table_version'. But saving a config switch, i agree, it's always nice. I'd target release 0.12.5 for this as 0.12.4 is planned to be out soon (by end of the month). Will give a shout as soon as i get something workable in the CVS.
