Comment:
Accepting as a documentation issue. As I said before, I don't think
changing the behavior is acceptable given backwards compatibility. For
example, your patch assumes that the initial data includes all fields of
the model. Since unchanged formsets aren't validated, saving would fail
with a database `IntegrityError` if a required field is omitted.
Let me know if anything is unclear or if you think something additional
should be added to the documentation. I've attached a proposed patch.
