There are some subtle edge cases in the django migrations where doing all the migrations at once is not the same as doing migrations one by one. This has bitten me on multiple django projects.
There's a pre, do and post phase for the migrations. When you run a single migration, it's: pre, do, post. When you run 2 migrations, it's: pre [1,2], do: [1,2], post: [1,2].
So, if you have a migration that depends on a previous migration's post phase, then it will fail if it is run in a batch with the previous migration.
When I've run into this is with data migrations, or if you're adding/assigining permissions to groups.
The only catch is they will run multiple times, once for each app, but that can also be prevented by passing a sender (e.g. `pre_migrate.connect(pre_migrate_signal_handler, sender=self)` if you are registering them in your AppConfig.ready method).
