Doctrine:schema:update --force is the same as doctrine:schema:create.

Under the hood, this may not be true, but they basically accomplish the same task. Schema:create should be removed, as it is redundant.

Just look at django, one command to update db:

./manage.py syncdb

Not saying that django gets everything correct, but the one command to synchronize the database is consistent. doctrine:schema:update should be smart enough to do all of the work, instead of relying on the redundant doctrine:schema:create.
