 > To support multisite where schema rollouts can take days you need code
 that can read both the old and new schema and upgrade on the fly (but not
 during a front page visit).
 >
 > Changing the schema seems pointless busy work to me. Lose the current
 UI, that's what we're really after. Retain the schema. Deprecate all
 bookmark functions and make them pluggable. Create a plugin that replaces
 the UI as phase 1. Phase 2 can be creating replacements for the pluggable
 functions that can handle on the fly migration from links table to CPT.
 Phase 3 can be killing the core functions. Personally, I wouldn't bother
 with anything but phase 1.
