+  ;; Why is this function called twice?
+  ;; We had to release a hotfix that didn't have v18 migration while we had nightlies
+  ;; that already have it. so this `migrate-infura-project-ids!` went as
+  ;; migration no. 18 in the release.
+  ;;
+  ;; Hence, we ended up with 2 branches where migration v18 meant different things:
+  ;; - release 0.9.32-infura-hotfix: v18 means migration of Infura project IDs
+  ;; - nightlies: v18 means empty migration but schema change
+  ;;
+  ;; To be able to migrate from both of these, we
+  ;; (1) swapped migration v18 and v19 in the nigtlies (`develop` branch).
+  ;; (2) create a migration v20 that applies Infura migration again.
+  ;;
+  ;; That way we can upgrade both of the paths:
+  ;; - 0.9.32 that had v18 with Infura transition will apply both v19 and v20, where
+  ;;    v20 will be a no-op.
+  ;; - nightlies that had v18 as an empty transition will apply the empty transition
+  ;;    v19 again, and migrate Infura IDs as v20.
