Seperate the schema from the subschema and the parameter store. Retrieve data using the old schema. Restore data using the new schema. Dynamically extend the schema between releases using subschema changes. In general, unless something radically changes, it's not necessary to do the retrieve/restore, except for the first time you change over to a schema-based system. And this *can* be automated by providing a commandline tool to allow sourcing the config then writing the parameter store. A radical change would be "total conversion to USB devices" or something similar.
