I'd like to propose adding support for disabled form fields in Django.
If it were only a matter of adding widget attributes, like it's feasible
with the `readonly` attribute, it wouldn't need special treatment.
However, the `disabled` attribute is particular in that user agents are
not transmitting their values when POSTing form data.
A typical use case is a ModelForm where you'd like to disable some fields
while still displaying all values. So currently, if you simply add
`disabled` to the widget attributes, you'll have a problem: the form will
clear the field as the value is not present in the data (and the field is
not in excluded fields).
