 3YOURMIND is running the linter on every build getting pushed through CI.
 Checkout the ``examples/`` folder to see how you could integrate the linter in your test suite.
 
+Backward incompatible migrations
+--------------------------------
+
+The linter analyses your migrations and checks the SQL for:
+
+- Added ``NOT NULL`` columns, which don't have a DEFAULT value
+- Dropping columns
+- Renaming columns
+- Renaming tables
+- Altering columns (which can be backward compatible and eventually ignored)
+
+Those are the most important and frequent backward incompatible migrations. We are happy to add more if you have some.
