Hello everyone,

One of the biggest features introduced in Django 1.7 are migrations. They 
can broadly be classified into 2 types - 
* schema migrations
* data migrations

Schema migrations deal with changes to the database schema. eg - changing 
max_digits of a DecimalField.
Data migrations revolve around the actual data in your database and are not 
automatically taken care of.

My question is; 

Why is there so much praise for the Django (1.7) migrations feature if it 
can't handle data? Yes, I can understand the convenience of schema 
migrations, but without it being accompanied by data migrations, what's the 
point? (I'm assuming that this is something run on a production 
environment. For test/development environments, the data can arguably be 
worthless)

Puzzled,
Abraham V.
