 Replying to [comment:3 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?

 Sure, because if you dumpdata without parameters, everything will be
 dumped. Absolutely not necessary to warn in that case at all.

 It would be just nice if it would warn that you "might" lose some data if
 somebody is unobservant like me :)
