Some libraries use email ids as userids. The current length of the userid field is 30 and is not sufficient to accomodate some email addresses. This change will increase the length to 75.

Version numbers should only be assigned by the RM. The kohaversion file shouldn't be in this patch and the updatedatabase file should not say: +$DBversion = "3.05.00.011"; it should instead say: +$DBversion = "3.05.00.XXX";

There is still the kohaversion.pl file in the first patch. Can you make this one patch so that the first patch doesn't break things before applying the second?
Nicole: Apply second patch only no need for first one.

Simple change to read; adjusts both kohastructure.sql and updatedatabase accordingly. One question, out of curiousity mostly: why 75? Consider this my sign off as well: Marking as Passed QA
