Consider it a work in progress. There are several external projects
working on this:

http://code.google.com/p/django-evolution/
http://code.google.com/p/dmigrations/
http://south.aeracode.org/
http://www.bitbucket.org/DeadWisdom/migratory/
http://code.google.com/p/deseb/

In addition, the creators of the first 3 of these projects featured in
a panel discussion at DjangoCon 2008:

Following that meeting, they (that is, Simon Willison, Andrew Godwin
and myself) started a SIG:

http://code.google.com/p/django-migrations-sig/

with the aim of getting "the one true migration framework" into the
Django core as a contrib package. Progress on the SIG has stalled -
mostly due to other commitments, like getting features ready for
Django v1.1. However, I have hopes that we can resurrect the
discussion for the v1.2/v1.3 timeframe.
