Replying to [comment:5 mtredinnick]:
> What's the use-case here? If you have permission to add the object, it's
giving you a way to add it. If you don't have permission to add objects of
that type, it shouldn't be showing the plus-sign, but I believe that's
already the case.

inconsistent.
If you have a foreign key with a limit_choices_to filter, then in your
admin you get a drop down menu with a selection of items. However, if you
add a new item through the green plus link, you can actually circumvent
this limit_choices_to filter. You can create a new object which doesn't
agree with the limit_choices_to filter and it will be used in the foreign
key field despite the filter.
This could be a scenario where disabling the green plus link would make
sense.
My 2 cents.
