Comment (by Josh Schneier): Currently in `AbstractBaseUser` they raise `NotImplementedError`, I would remove those definitions. Actually what do you think of simply removing `get_short_name` and `get_full_name` altogether? They feel like legacy warts to me given the custom user model. We can just use the `__str__` of the user where appropriate (currently `get_username()` everywhere). -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28089#comment:2> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
