Just to circle back on this before anyone throws in their two cents and 
tells me that 3rd party CI is the way to go, I caught Monty in IRC and 
came to that conclusion already.

While DB2 Express-C is free and doesn't expire, it's closed source so 
it's an issue of the infra team being able to maintain it, and that 
there is no closed source code running in the community infrastructure.

So I'll plan on getting the sqlalchemy-migrate unit tests reporting back 
for DB2 using 3rd party CI and triggers.
