I read that myself. I asked the question because it goes on to state that you can specify down-stream models like this:
query.select_related(person__place) If it follows all relationships as far as possible, even when specific relationships are requested, why would that syntax ever be necessary? We could just specify "people", and it would follow the "place" relationship automatically. Is it only to specifically prevent it from following other relationships on the "person" model? The docs seem to be ambiguous on this point.
