RC Autoremovals is set as of 2015/1/30.
What is the plan to get rid of this?

The RT instance which altered by assettracker will seem to be fail to
upgrade, so
it would be as follows:

a. implement some migration from assettracker to RTx::Assets (but
refered as too late in #748737)
b. patch RT's db migration script to allow assettracker's modification
c. purge assettracker with its data dump and recover RTDB before upgrading RT
d. skip RT upgrade if assettracker is installed
e. etc, etc.

assettracker is already removed from testing, so I think that
something like c. and d.
would be candidates...
