Comment:
The rationale behind my proposal is that according to the model contract,
you can't **change** the value to be empty. By offering users the
possibility to **change** the selection to "--------", we're misleading
them. For example, see the "Component:" selector on Trac comments form
below. There's no "empty" choice, since it wouldn't make sense.
If there was a good way to remove the blank values without changing the
django core, I probably wouldn't post the ticket.
What I found is to directly access Form.base_fields[xxx].widget.options
for each field, or write a custom formfield processor. Both ways feel a
bit clumsy.
