Comment (by HuffAndPuff):

 Posting some thoughts on this one...

 If we '''don't''' raise an exception, we would instead need to define how
 a None is handled in all Related lookups. Semantically it means "compare
 to something that is not in the database" right? At least that's how I
 would interpret it.

 The lookups returned by a ForeignObject are `in`, `exact`, `gt`, `gte`,
 `lt`, `lte` and `isnull`. The `isnull` one is not really a problem.

 The scenarios I can think of for the other ones are:
 * `__in=[1,2,None]`
 * `__in=[None]`
 * `__exact=None`
 * Plus the greater/less than comparisons, what does it mean to say
 "greater than None" where None semantically means "no matching row"?
