I do a lot of projects with highly customized admins and having the full 
font awesome would be splendid.

One option is to use optional requirements: pip install django[all-icons]
but I don't think Django does this anywhere else so it's probably a big 
leap for a small part of contrib.admin

Maybe all that's is needed is a simple wrapper app that packages the full 
font-awesome on the correct static path and it's as simple as documenting 
it thus:

"If you want all the font awesome icons to be available put this app in 
INSTALLED_APPS after contrib.admin and it will overwrite the minimal icon 
pack with the full one"
