Right you are. This is still an antipattern though: what if the user wants to change the loaded data at some point in the future? Should they create a new migration? I'm just not gone on the whole idea...

I've yet to find any patchwork instance that uses anything but the default states and tags, hence the suggestion to move to 'choices'. However, as you say both solutions solve the more pressing issue of quashing this bug.
