If the 80/20 principle (not rule) hasn't been applied appropriately,  
that's an issue.

I'm not saying you're being unfair; I'm saying you're being  
unproductive.  You're wasting your own time just as much as anyone  
else's by presenting a full schema revision without discussion of the  
issues that prompted it.  As we're now witnessing, that discussion is  
going to happen either way, but it will happen a lot smoother if  
everyone is talking about the same issue from the beginning.

As would everyone.  You can't do that alone, so you need to clearly  
explain your concerns to everyone else.  And that's what issues are for.

You certainly haven't upset me with your recommendations.  I suspect I  
agree with many of them.  But I won't know that until you clearly  
explain them.  Whether or not we call such explanations "issues" is  
beside the point.  The point is to describe the problem before  
recommending a solution, to avoid the sort of talking in circles we're  
seeing here.
