Well, they should run flawlessly otherwise it will break everyone's 
migration. The scripts that we keep should be idempotent and not be 
invalidated by subsequent data model changes. So special care should be 
taken when reviewing PRs that contain older scripts.

That is correct, if you migrate from 17 to 18, any 16.0.x.x.x migration 
script will not be triggered.
