Comment:

 Replying to [comment:8 mrmachine]:
 > It's currently impossible to use an optional DateTimeField in the Django
 admin, with an exception being generated if no value is specified.

 That doesn't seem to be true; this works fine for me:

 {{{
 class Bug8898(models.Model):
     timestamp = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True)
 }}}

 I'm thinking there's not a bug here -- as Karen said, `SplitDateTimeField`
 is the right choice here -- but if there is can you please clarify how (if
 at all) this breaks forms and/or the admin?
