Comment (by Justin Michalicek):
I found this today after fighting with getting swappable models working
for an app, digging through the source to find the undocumented
`Meta.swappable` for models, and then further finding places in the
swappable model code specifically looking for `AUTH_USER_MODEL`.
I'm very curious as to if there's any plan to complete this functionality.
Currently, it seems to work as long as your settings actually have the
setting specified in `swappable` on your model, which is of course not
great when relying on the default models, but means it's apparently close
to being functional. I saw a few other things when looking at existing
migrations on the app I am working with which looked like they had the
potential to go awry but I haven't tested yet to see.
I had noticed the app mentioned above, but ignored it initially assuming
it was outdated and no longer needed. For now, I will of course give it a
try since it is still actively maintained.
