The number of users still using a class-based approach must be very 
small by now so I think you'd have a better chance of getting this fixed 
by switching to Schema.

I fretted for quite a while about switching, thinking it must be 
terribly complicated. IIRC it was about as difficult as making the base 
model class inherit from Schema and changing "use base" in the other 
classes and took me about 20 minutes. It also improved the startup time 
of my app by several orders of magnitude.
