A proposal has been raised to change the validation for 
CommaSeparatedIntegerField to allow negative numbers [1]. This is obviously 
backwards-incompatible, so I don't think it'll fly without some option to 
control the behavior, however, I wanted to ask if there's any reason not to 
deprecate the field at this point. From a quick glance, I believe it could 
be replaced with 
CharField(validators=[validate_comma_separated_integer_list]). The only 
database storage difference is on Oracle:

        'CharField': 'NVARCHAR2(%(max_length)s)',
        'CommaSeparatedIntegerField': 'VARCHAR2(%(max_length)s)',

Is this difference meaningful? Are there any third-party database backends 
that provide a special storage type for comma-separated integers such that 
it deserves a separate field?
