Comment (by Sławek Ehlert):
Well, I think the more pressing problem is not the feature set Django
supports and the docs, but the fact that the change mentioned here breaks
the test suite and can break people's projects.
Also by having a {{{auth_tests.CustomUserWithFK}}} model in the test
suite, one would think that this kind of model is supported by Django,
which is not true at this point.
Moreover, having a similar user model in a project means that a developer
can't even import from {{{django.contrib.auth.forms}}} module. And what if
something imports that module that's not in developer's control? E.g.
currently {{{django/contrib/admin/forms.py}}},
{{{django/contrib/auth/admin.py}}} and {{{django/contrib/auth/views.py}}}
are importing something from that module, so that means on fresh project
with admin enabled with that kind of a user model, developer can't even
run {{{./manage.py --help}}}.
