Over the past several years when I first started this thread, the API has improved and these types of improvements reduced the need to monkey patch or completely rewrite bits of the ORM in django-mssql. Continuing to move/keep any DB specific hacks out of the ORM and in to their respective backend makes Django friendlier for 3rd party database backends. The API is still deemed internal and if you push for a more official database backend API, I suggest clearly stating that it will still be exempt from the standard deprecation policy. There was a lot of strong opposition to changing that policy in the past.
