Comment:
I agree there is no current "dumpdata" to get an initial data migration.
This would likely be helpful, and is a new feature. It's actually
orthogonal to updating from South - any situation where you would
previously have done a dumpdata > initial_data.json you now wish to do a
dumpdata > initial_migration. I think this feature is likely useful,
though the implementation is probably hard and I do not feel its absence
is a release blocking issue.
I'm concerned about your comments about migrations speed and upgrading
from South. However this ticket is now about adding a new feature to the
migrations framework - if you have concerns about migration's performance
please raise a separate ticket or open a discussion on django-dev.
