I have the feeling you both are confusing your development workflow around database structure with the structure itself.

You seem to think that using columns somehow results in some type of automatic "tracking" (versioning?) of something.

Not quite. We are saying that adding `not_available_before: 2026`, or similar, ‘right away’ is usually not a good thing; therefore anything that helps with doing that is not something we desire.

It should be a multistep process. Yes, it will waste time now, but it will save it in a long run.
