FYI: I was doing this as a separate document, but since it's motivated by
ALTER_COLUMN_TYPE
, it seems like it belongs in this doc. The TL;DR is thatTableMutations

ALTER COLUMN TYPE
RFC with a proposed plan for migrating statemanagement from
TableDescriptor.Mutations
into a newTableActions
collection.
Release note: None
