If we can get a fix out soon then I'm fine with that, if we can't get
a fix out soon then a revert may be wise.

Richard was correct in saying that new fields must be added to the end
of the record.  The only correction I would make to Richard's comments
is that we tend to prefer that if a field is present in a record, it
is always present in a record; if there is no useful information to
log in that field, a "?" can be substituted for the value (e.g.
"nftfield=?").
