IIRC Kovid wrote that one of the reasons he is careful to avoid changes to the database - even to remove legacy redundancies - is that it would require some sort of fix-up which inevitably would result in a lot of support 'calls'. And he also said that db schema hadn't been changed for 2-3 years - which given the enhancements that have been made over that time is pretty remarkable 
Like you I don't skip updates. If I'm away for a few, I will download and install each one, do a few tests and look at new features and bug fixes and then install the next one.

I don't think they were USER tools. Just like DB restructuring, they only fire off only when a new version install calls them
