+Previously, there was no protection against a caller invoking an\r
+operation on an old database version that would effectively corrupt\r
+the database by treating it like a newer version.\r
+\r
+According to notmuch.h, any caller that opens the database in\r
+read/write mode is supposed to check if the database needs upgrading\r
+and perform an upgrade if it does. This would protect against this,\r
+but nobody (even the CLI) actually does this.\r
+\r
+However, with features, it's easy to protect against incompatible\r
+operations on a fine-grained basis. This lightweight change allows\r
+callers to safely operate on old database versions, while preventing\r
+specific operations that would corrupt the database with an\r
+informative error message.\r
