Correct!  MySQL definitely does not support multiple auto-increment
fields.  However, that is not what I'm talking about.  I would just
like the primary key requirement removed from the AutoField.  MySQL
definitely does not require that an auto-increment field be a primary
key.  I've never used Postgres or Oracle, but I do not see any
indication that they require their sequence fields to be primary keys
either.

Let me shore up my use case a bit.  In my application I cannot have
AutoField primary keys.  My primary keys must be UUIDFields.  This is
because my records are created in several satellite systems and then
later aggregated back to a central database.   If I use AutoFields as
the primary key I would get key violations when the satellite tables
are aggregated into a single central table.  This is because I would
have one record in every satellite system with id=1.
