I should have explained more clearly, get_absolute_url() would still be available in 1.1 (this is required for backwards compatibility anyway). get_url() and get_url_path() would simply be the preffered way to do it, I would expect that get_absolute_url() would remain in django (albeit deprecated) until 2.0.
As for the "Let's have it painted red" reaction… When I first started using django this confused the heck out of me, when it returned a relative url I presumed that I was doing something wrong. I don't think this is one of those pedantic issues, this is a legitimate issue that causes practical problems.
