     * These are the calls Ghost will make to find out if the db is in OK state!
     * These check's will have nothing to do with the migration module!
     * Ghost will not touch the migration module at all.
     *
     * Example code:
     * models.Settings.findOne({key: 'databasePopulated'})
     * If not, throw error and tell user what to do (ghost db-init)!
     *
     * versioning.getDatabaseVersion() - not sure about that yet.
     * This will read the database version of the settings table!
     * If not, throw error and tell user what to do (ghost db-seed)!
     *
     * @TODO:
     * - remove return populate() -> belongs to db init
     * - key: migrations-kate
