There's a good chance it's been discovered before. Yes, the search I performed turned up a few others, too. One was two years old, the other is 7 months old. My point in posting is to raise this seemingly simple issue and have it fixed once and for all. It is vexing having to modify the django/contrib/auth/models.py file on all upgrades to handle this. Now, if you have any helpful comments on my original questions (below), please provide them. Thanks.

I asked that question to add it to the request queue to fix this problem.
