Comment:
What about using a `TextField` instead?
This would lift the length limitation and shouldn't have any user
noticeable effect since this field is not queried by Django.
Do all backends support altering a `CharField` to a `TextField`? If it's
not the case we could ship three migrations:
1. Schema migration that creates the new text field;
2. Data migration that populates the new field;
3. Schema migration that removes the old char field and rename the new one
`name`.
