Then we have a forever-in-perpetuity dependency on SQLAlchemy-Migrate 
which must be maintained forever for to maintain compatibility with all 
new SQLAlchemy, oslo.db, etc. releases, despite it never being used for 
anythine new, because it will be impossible to install an Openstack 
application without running through the first set of migrate scripts first.

The SQLAlchemy-Migrate dependency must be dropped and the project has to 
be EOL'ed at some point.   Leaving it in is definitely the more 
complicated alternative.
