That's certainly what we did with GLUE 1. It takes so long to agree and deploy any update at all that there isn't really any concept of a minor change. We also need to bear that in mind for the cloud discussion - whatever is agreed needs to be good for at least 2-3 years, people shouldn't think that we can easily change it if it turns out to have flaws, and the only changes which can be made at all are pretty much restricted to new attributes or completely new entities.
