Comment (by timgraham):

 I don't see an advantage of burdening everyone that uses proxy models with
 warnings for normal `dumpdata` usage. If we extended the warning to if an
 app is specified like `dumpdata app` would that have helped?

 The behavior seems intuitive to me, however, the
 [https://docs.djangoproject.com/es/1.9/ref/django-admin/#dumpdata-app-
 label-app-label-app-label-model dumpdata documentation] doesn't seem to
 mention it, so that's a candidate for an update as well.
