Column Types Cannot be Changed in a Patch or Transform

Why did the Windows Installer team choose to extend the columns to 32 bits, instead of adding new columns on the side? The latter way would have allowed patches to be made across the transition, I think. MSI 4.5 has not yet reached RTM so can this still be changed?
