Comment (by Michał Pasternak): Hey, yes, I'm back. I second your opinion. Me myself, I haven't really decided between "I wish I have never used GenericForeignKeys" and "this is cool functionality and PostgreSQL makes it even better". But... if your opinion on this topic reflects the general opinion of the whole Django core team - IDK, maybe it would be better to move GenericForeignKeys to external module and rip them out of Django... or to add some more stuff, likewise as PostgreSQL contrib. Having them in makes the ORM less database-y and more NoSQL... ... but if you look at how are things implemented, they're a terrible hack. Like a bomb waiting to blow up someday. Anyways, as for me and my small project, I'm glad to be on your radar, just in case. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28315#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.
