Comment (by Simon Charette):

 [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/django-developers/OmAtiBbq-
 EM/8ArMxdKiBQAJ There was a recent post to django-developers] where a user
 was trying to use `annotate(foo=expr).defer('foo')` for this exact
 purpose. Their use case was more about avoiding the double evaluation of
 an `EXISTS` expression which is probably fixed on the master branch by
 1ca825e4dc186da2b93292b5c848a3e5445968d7 and could be addressed by #25367
 which was previously mentioned but it remains that adding annotation
 support to `defer` and `only` could be another solution for this issue.
