My main argument for removing them entirely was the dependency issues between apps with and without migrations. Having syncdb use SchemaEditor is a big step and one I'm happy we've got to, but the only advantage of keeping syncdb is for the test suite and I'd rather we approach that more as "migrations made and run at runtime as a special case" rather than "syncdb".
If nothing else, I'd like to see the end-developer-facing parts, like the syncdb command itself, gone.
