 Removals
 --------
 - Database conversion. Reason for removal. The database conversions support
  provided by this feature (SQLite to PostgreSQL) was being confused with
  database migrations and upgrades.
  Database upgrades are the responsibility of the app and the framework.
  Database conversions however are not the responsibility of the app (Mayan),
  they are the responsibility of the framework.
  Database conversion is outside the scope of what Mayan does but we added
  the code, management command, instructions and testing setup to provide
  this to our users until the framework (Django) decided to add this
  themselves (like they did with migrations).
  Continued confusion about the purpose of the feature and confusion about 
  how errors with this feature were a reflexion of the code quality of
  Mayannecessitated the removal of the database conversion feature.
