IIRC from that room at summit, the issue that triggered that sessions 
would have been made worse by Alembic, as the backported migration would 
have to be *exactly the same*, not equivalent. The general consensus was 
that while migrations has their issues, Alembic didn't make it better, 
it just had different issues.

My personal suggestion is to not be different on something like this, 
but it's your project. :)
