The timestamped migrations are fully backwards compatible with the integer based ones, there are no practical downsides to switching to it beyond the Timestamp collision that you've mentioned. There are however some aesthetic considerations which I think would be nice to handle with an option like you've mentioned. I personally think they look hideous and am grateful that you've taken the time to whip up the option. But we're not going to flip the default back just to satisfy those aesthetic concerns and won't take a patch which does that. -- Cheers Koz --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
