5. What makes it awesome? Neat alternative to squashmigrations in the case that you just don't need your old migration files anymore. Targets larger Django applications who want to clean up their migration history from time to time without too much hazzle. The awesomeness comes from the management command which helps you clean up your database migration table. It works even with some edge-cases you might encounter in the real-world (refer to docs).
