Comment:
This does happen in svn as well. However, the problem is not that
validation is being bypassed; because of the invalid input type from the
form field, the attempt to construct an instance fails loudly. There is no
way to get around this cleanly - it's a programming error, not a problem
with django. The most we could do would be to add a note to the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms
/#overriding-the-default-field-types-or-widgets docs] about the dangers of
not mimicking data type conversion when overriding fields.
