Comment:
`django.form.util` used to be defined as a side effect of all the imports
in `django/forms/__init__.py`.
Since we don't import this module anymore, to prevent firing
`DeprecatingWarning`s, it's never assigned as a property to the
`django.forms` module. You can validate this is the case by trying to
access `forms.util` once you explicitly imported `django.forms.util`.

Since accessing `django.forms.util` without explicitly importing the
`util` module used to works only because of import side effects I'm
tempted to mark this ticket as ''won't fix''. I'm not even sure there's a
way to lazily expose the `util` module to support your case without
triggering the deprecating warnings.
