Comment (by yeago):
I'd like to raise something else for discussion...
Regarding permission checks, I think matching the way raw_id_fields would
just be building in unwanted limitations in many cases. Firstly, the
permission says 'change' where no change is occurring. It just seemed like
the original implementation was taking a short-cut by using that
permission (since it was effectively a pop-out changeview).
In many cases, someone may want to grant access to a form that has an
autocomplete list of users but that doesn't mean they want to grant change
access to their user list. Moreover, we're already granting a permission
when we are allowing access to the admin form the autocomplete would be
used on. I'm not sure what case we are covering by granting access to a
form but not granting access to the autocomplete we explicitly added.
