zERT - unneccessary Migration trouble 2.3 to 2.4 to 2.5

We were on z/OS 2.3 and have zERT Table Version 1.3.0 in use.
After Migration to z/OS 2.4 the zERT-Plugin in z/OSMF tells wrong schema version.
So i tried to run Migration Script IZUZNADG, which creates the new statements for getting correct DDL.
But Script gives only this:
*** WARNING *** Template contains no commands for versions newer than 1.3.0
*** WARNING *** No DDL commands written to output data set
This Script should be enhanced for a second parameter like ZOSVER, giving the "old version" and creating INSERT/UPDATE-Statements for the current version.


And Performance: With this index the import of SMF-Records speeds up.
CREATE INDEX SYSIBM_EZB_ZNADB.SESSION_INSERT_IX
ON SYSIBM_EZB_ZNADB.SESSION_STATISTICS
(STATS_SESSOID ASC,
STATS_SMFXTME ASC,
STATS_SMFXDTE ASC,
STATS_OID ASC)

    We did some further investigation:

    Empty the APPL-Table, do the one insert from IZUZNDDL, so
    INSERT INTO APPL
    (APPL_TYPE, CREATED_TIME, LAST_UPDATED_TIME,
    APPL_CURR_SCHEMA_VERSION, APPL_CURR_SCHEMA_RELEASE,
    APPL_CURR_QRTSPARTITIONSNUM, APPL_PREV_QRTSPARTITIONSNUM)
    VALUES (2, CURRENT TIMESTAMP, CURRENT TIMESTAMP, '1.3.0',
    'HSMA24E', 5, 0)
    ;

    And then the same table version for different program version runs nearly fine. Only a different number of columns is disturbing:

    Table TLSSPACE, Fields
    ,"TLS_CLNTHSSIGMETH" SMALLINT WITH DEFAULT 0
    ,"TLS_RAWPUBLICKEYAUTH" INT WITH DEFAULT 0
    ,"TLS_PRESHAREDKEYAUTH" INT WITH DEFAULT 0
    ,"DTYPE" VARCHAR(255)

    So: Why is the table schema the same version but has different column numbers for the tables?

    There is a logic error in the (human) version number assignment! What Columns are also new, but not mentioned by increasing APPL_CURR_SCHEMA_RELEASE?

    I think this is an Error (but they told me i should open an RFE for it!
