The approach merged in I6e92b6057d319e20706608f984a4e0836eaf6a16 is being revised, specifically changes to datatypes within the migration file will no longer work in the way specified. Either the names and arguments of the datatypes will change, or the concept of altering a migration in place will not be used. In any case, as this is the only merged patch and I'd like to hopefully cleanly remove types like AutoStringText from oslo_db, if this can be reverted before a release that will give us time to rethink this approach without struggling with backwards incompatibility. Similar patches for Nova, Neutron etc. are all waiting for now. See also: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-July/120037.html Change-Id: Ibd1a5c316027a9e5230b3bf06a311b9d089f6b7e
