Historically, we decided not to use alter tables to add new fields.   
This results in many, many JOINs, combined with some node caching  
algorithm.

People who can't alter tables, can't run the upgrade script so it is  
probably safe to assume that 99% of all Drupal sites can alter their  
tables.  Therefore, I'd like to open up this discussion again.

Let's come up with a list of advantages and disadvantages of both  
approaches?
