Hi all,

I'm glad you've decided to drop sqlalchemy-migrate support :)

As for porting Ironic to using of alembic migrations, I believe,
Dmitriy Shulyak already uploaded a proof-of-concept patch to Ironic
before, but it abandoned. Adding Dmitriy to this thread, so he is
notified he can restore his patch and continue his work.

Thanks,
Roman
