Comment:

 There's nothing particularly special about using migrations to load
 initial data. Migrations are executed for all test runs as part of
 creating the test database. I wouldn't use migrations to load test-
 specific data. For Django's test suite, we use the ORM and
 `TestCase.setUpTestData()` for that. Do you want to write up some
 clarifications based on those suggestions?
