I'm not sure where you got the idea that automatic introspection is the issue - the proposal I put forward included automatic introspection. The issue has always been the aka syntax, and the consequences of that syntax on the overall design. However, that said, moving everything to a Google Code project is a good move. It encourages a clean separation of concerns, and means you don't have to keep remerging the whole tree as the trunk updates. I encourage anyone interested to play with all the schema-evolution proposals out there, including Derek's. If one of the alternatives gets wide community support, we can look at merging it into trunk. Derek - on a housekeeping issue - are you happy for us to write-lock the schema-evolution branches and close the outstanding tickets in Django's ticket database relating to that branch?
