Thanks for the feedback, all. We’ve updated the plan: On the 14th, all apps will be migrated to Accelerated Tables, but for a while it will be possible to move back to the old tables implementation in case you encounter problems. I’ve updated the post above to reflect that.
We will be updating get_user() so that it does not fetch all link columns on every load (ie it will act as though it’s got a fairly minimal q.fetch_only(...) clause). This will ship in the next few days, and will enable apps such as @divyeshlakhotia’s to run unmodified.
