DB schema generated by a migration may look different in
rails 4 and 5 (because rails 5 may use different default values).
For this reason it's important to explicitly set for which rails
version a migration was written for.

Migrations shouldn't fail RuboCop checks - especially lint checks, such
as the nested method check. To avoid changing code in existing
migrations, add the magic comment to the top of each of them to skip
that file.

Certain pages (e.g. the group wide issues page) filter miletones by
their title. Without an index this will result in a sequence scan on a
large dataset increasing the total loading time of a page.
