 -- when a device was deleted using Synapse earlier than 1.47.0.
 -- This runs as background task, but may take a bit to finish.
 
+-- Remove any existing instances of this job running. It's OK to stop and restart this job,
+-- as it's just deleting entries from a table - no progress will be lost.
+--
+-- This is necessary due a similar migration running the job accidentally
+-- being included in schema version 64 during v1.47.0rc1,rc2. If a
+-- homeserver had updated from Synapse <=v1.45.0 (schema version <=64),
+-- then they would have started running this background update already.
+-- If that update was still running, then simply inserting it again would
+-- cause an SQL failure. So we effectively do an "upsert" here instead.
