I think we need to clarify what this proposed feature does, exactly. James' AppConfig proposal (with the parallel to unmanaged models) sounds to me like a "migrations should ignore this app entirely" flag (which would impact both `makemigrations` and `migrate`). Such a flag wouldn't be useful for any reusable app that has models (and thus migrations). I'm not opposed to this, though (much like unmanaged models themselves) I don't think it'll be frequently used. It's basically a way to opt out of migrations entirely. It seems like what Marcin wants is more of a "don't ever create new migrations for this app, but go ahead and use its existing ones normally" flag (thus something that affects only `makemigrations`, not `migrate`). Personally I don't really see much use case for this feature except as a workaround for reusable apps that generate spurious new migrations based on settings changes (e.g. the dynamic-choices case). Normally an app shouldn't ever generate a new migration from `makemigrations` unless you've modified its models code. So I'd be more in favor of addressing the actual problems causing spurious new migrations. Also, FWIW, the latter is already fairly easy to implement yourself by overriding `makemigrations` in your project and giving it a default list of app names if none are provided.
