I'm not debating whether or not this is the best way to expand the
structures without bumping the major.  I am however asking if this is
something we want to do.

The fact that it's been in the vv branch for a while now seems like
nothing more than a red herring to me.  I mean vv is going to be a major
bump.  Theres no reason we can't add everything we need, and then add
some obscene number of reserved slots.

Also, the fact that we're even looking at this, to me, says that we
don't want to follow the rules we all agreed to about our versioning.  I
mean, if we need to add another member and don't have room, is there any
reason feature X is that important that we need to work around a our own
rules, and that just seems silly to me.
