Comment (by Johannes Hoppe):
Hey Tyler,
thanks for your swift response. I see, I wasn't ware of your background,
but also didn't mean to offend you. I my comment really was only trying to
save you some effort. I know first hand that the Django development
process can be lengthy and demotivating.
Anyhow, I see where you are coming from, and yes, you shouldn't absolutely
use a mainstream Django version, to avoid security vulnerabilities.
Might I suggest to use django-select2 until then? I developed and maintain
that package, it was the blue print for Django's autocomplete field
implementation, which I implemented too. It does work slightly different,
but it will at least allow you to jump to a stable Django release.
Regarding the patch: As the initial developer of this feature I have an
elevated interest to solve all bugs, not just this one. That aside – IMHO
– the best solution actually happens to fix both problems.
I will do a review of your PR, to give you a bit better feeling of the
work that would need to be done on the PR to fix only this issue. I'll let
you decide, if you still think it's worth the effort given that all
changes would need to be revered with the fix for #29138.
Best
-Joe
