What language, framework, tools do you use to manage these phased migrations? It sounds like alot of extra code to write.
Also 1 site update, or version number, could really be N releases until fruition -- which don't sound like traditional releases to me.
What he's saying is more about convention than writing code. For instance, instead of adding a column "abc" and doing:
foo.abc = 123;
they would do something like:
if (foo.abc) { foo.abc = 123; }
make sure all tests pass, and then migrate the db.
