-------------------------------+--------------------
Foreign key fields in the admin currently default to a behavior that can
cause crashing and user inconvenience.
The default behavior is to render a <select> element containing ''every''
instance of the model referred to by the FK.
When this field refers to a model that has for example, 100,000 or more
entries, this can have the affect of crashing a server, a browser, or at
best making new users confused about why they cannot view the admin page
for this instance.
Defaulting to raw_id is safer and more reliable in most cases and presents
minimal compromises in usability (in my opinion).
