+Spec Lite: Remove sqlalchemy-migrate
+====================================
+
+..
+  Mandatory sections
+
+:project: glance
+
+:problem: The sqlalchemy-migrate library is unmaintained and has been
+          deprecated in favour of alembic. It is not compatible with sqlalchemy
+          2.0 and is issuing many warnings suggesting Python 3.10 compatibility
+          may be in doubt. Glance switched to alembic for new migrations during
+          the Ocata cycle and no longer needs to carry the old
+          sqlalchemy-migrate-based migrations.
+
+:solution: Remove the sqlalchemy-migrate-based migrations and related tooling.
+
+:impacts: None. Users coming from a pre-Ocata deployment will need to deploy a
+          pre-Xena glance before deploying Xena, but that's standard practice
+          anyway.
+
+..
+  Optional sections -- delete any that don't apply to this spec lite
