Comment (by srkunze):

 Hi Tim. I know that it might be dangerous. However, the reason why I
 suggest this feature is that we needed it in a backwards migration. I.e.
 it removes some data that has been created by its corresponding forward
 migration. In this case, we are 110% sure that it does not delete anything
 more than necessary.

 Overriding ```Model.delete()``` does not help in this case as it is NOT
 the original Model but a fake migration model.

 We already have a helper function that carries out this deletion manually
 but we thought that a Django-provided way would be much cleaner.
