Comment (by jdufresne):
> What would then be the difference between your proposal
(forms.fields.NullBooleanField with required=True) and
forms.fields.BooleanField with required=False?
`forms.fields.BooleanField` does not allow for a "no answer". In my
application the user must *explicitly* select Yes or No. Assuming No when
no answer is provided is not an option.
Just for some clarification, I'm rendering this field as a yes/no radio
option:
{{{
This field is required.
Do you agree with foo?
[ ] Yes
[ ] No
}}}
With my proposal above, the user would need to explicitly select No for
the field to evaluate as `False`, if the field is required and and they do
not select No, they will be warned.
