Comment 10 for bug 1521693

I'm putting this on the back burner. It's starting to look like Sqitch may not be the best tool for our needs.

The desire for regular database reification does not integrate easily with Sqitch, which works best with linear series of deployments. Reification in effect squashes and rewrites the deployment history. This could be made to work in Sqitch, but it's not really what it excels at. We'd be fighting the tool as much as using it.

Also the desire to avoid using Sqitch for production deployments suggests maybe it's not the best option. The goal is to make things cleaner/simpler/more cohesive, but as it stands I think we'd be replacing one thing that sort of works with another thing that sort of works.
