I think we'd want to constraint it like so:

to do with migrations and we decide we have to do a hybrid deploy with
everything getting bounced&  deployed to.
I'd vastly prefer an automated safety net over humans watching 
dependencies with one eye and deployments with the other.  But we don't 
need to go into implementation details now, I'm sure; I believe it can 
be done quickly without too much work and that we can eliminate more 
friction later as needed.
