+# WHAT IS THIS FILE?
+# ------------------
+#
+# Upon occasion, someone runs into this file and wonders why we have
+# both a models.py and a models_v0.py.
+#
+# The short of it is: you can ignore this file.
+#
+# The long version is, in two parts:
+#
+# - We used to use MongoDB, then we switched to SQL and SQLAlchemy.
+# We needed to convert peoples' databases; the script we had would
+# switch them to the first version right after Mongo, convert over
+# all their tables, then run any migrations that were added after.
+#
+# - That script is now removed, but there is some discussion of
+# writing a test that would set us at the first SQL migration and
+# run everything after. If we wrote that, this file would still be
+# useful. But for now, it's legacy!
