Comment (by hwkns):
This absolutely should have been fixed in Django 1.7. With all the
warnings attached here
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/customizing/#substituting-a
-custom-user-model), why would anyone think creating a custom User model
is a better idea than a sane default / running a single migration as a
part of a gigantic migrations overhaul?
As far as the definition of "sane", this is a **max_length** property, so
a sane value would be the smallest maximum allowed length for a CharField
in any of Django's supported database backends. I guarantee that value is
not 30.
