Please don't. That is just *inconsistently* swapping out the meaning of
the 'partner_id' to contact. Add a field 'contact_id' so that
'partner_id' can keep referring to the company partner.

If your dogmatic release policy forbids it, forcing you into such a
dangerous move, then maybe you can implement the correct decision after
all and just call it OpenERP 7.1 and release next week.
