Perhaps it's just me, but I've very rarely wanted a SlugField that wasn't 
unique. Would this not be a sensible default? I realise that a lot of apps 
will rely upon this default, but objectively speaking would this not be 
better? Perhaps this change would be appropriate for django 2.0.

At the moment, slug = models.SlugField()creates a non-unique field, and if 
you want it to be unique, then you must add unique=True. I feel this is 
wrong.

It seems to me that unique should be default, and if you don't want a 
unique slug, you should explicitly state that:
slug = models.SlugField(unique=False)

I've added an issue on the tracker for this: 
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/18525

I realise this may be a contentious issue...or that I may even get shot 
down in flames on this one ;P Go easy on me! :)

What do you all think?

Charlie.
