I would rather back out the changes. They have not appeared in any release thus
it is easy to do without impacting anyone.

I really really do not like to add fields that have limited usage and can be
confusing to users. I think RAWF,RAWL fall into this category. It is easy to
think or additional fields for many record types that can be useful in special
cases. The number of fields will just grow and grow.
