Hi Brian,

It's indeed clearly documented. It's interesting to see that one of my
former colleagues based his design on the abillity to remove schema
extensions at will (even when objects of these types already exist), despite
the extensive documentation that says you shouldn't do that. It's also
interesting to see that the documented restriction is only inforced from SP3
and up, unfortunately without clear error messages.

Thanks again!
Bert Roos
