The topic has come up in the calibre forum as well. If I can come up with the right wording, I might try what I suggest at the end of that thread.
I suppose one possible variation of "big" would be deletion of a column the driver uses/updates, or maybe changing of the type of the column beyond just making it wider?

Just trying to think ahead and predict possible futures.
