+title: "migrations: prevent accidentally using inner unversioned migration instead of `VersionedMigration`"
+
+doc:
+  - audience: Runtime Dev
+    description: |
+      Currently, it is possible to accidentally use inner unversioned migration instead of `VersionedMigration` 
+      since both implement `OnRuntimeUpgrade`. With this change, we make it clear that `Inner` is not intended 
+      to be used directly. It is achieved by bounding `Inner` to new trait `UncheckedOnRuntimeUpgrade`, which 
+      has the same interface as `OnRuntimeUpgrade`, but can not be used directly for runtime upgrade migrations.
+      
+      This change will break all existing migrations passed to `VersionedMigration`. Developers should simply change 
+      those migrations to implement `UncheckedOnRuntimeUpgrade` instead of `OnRuntimeUpgrade`.
+
+      Example:
