Comment (by dd32):

 > In result some table definitions may lead to constant ALTER statements
 to be executed which may easily crash MySQL server.

 As a quick driveby note, `dbDelta()` shouldn't be called often, only when
 a plugin or core detects that one of it's tables potentially needs to be
 updated. Core handles this through it's `db_version` variable.
