we should merge a dummy one that will block subsequent ones if there are items
that weren't migrated yet.
Please note that we still have old representation in SQLAlchemy model, so we
would be unable to drop the column even if we managed to switch N services to
write only to the new place.

that finally drops the column (or we can simply add it as migration in P
