Without clearing the caches afterward, removals done in migrations would
not be reflected in a separate task in the same process. That is, given
a table with a migration to remove a column, the schema cache would
still reflect that a table has that in something such as the
'db:seed' task:

`rake db:migrate db:seed`
(A common thing to do in a script for a project ala `bin/setup`)

vs

`rake db:migrate && rake db:seed`
(Two processes)

The first would not reflect that the column was removed.
The second would (cache reset).
