Thanks for all the replies.

While the data in this particular app wouldn't be too difficult to
re-create, I decided to go with renaming columns (appending _DEPRECATED) to
enable emergency roll-backs. It should be a simple job next time we deploy
some more changes to remove those fields once we know we no longer need
them.

Thanks again,
Ian
