Comment:

 I have analyzed the migration optimizer code and identified 5 cases where
 `preserve_default` is not handled correctly.

 {{{
 #!div style="font-size: 80%"
 {{{#!python
 >>> optimize([
 ...     migrations.CreateModel("Foo", [("name",
 models.CharField(max_length=255))]),
 ...     migrations.AddField("Foo", "value",
 models.IntegerField(default=42), preserve_default=False),
 ... ])
 [
     migrations.CreateModel(
         name='Foo',
         fields=[
             ('name', models.CharField(max_length=255)),
             ('value', models.IntegerField(default=42)),
         ],
     ),
 ]
 }}}
 }}}

 {{{
 #!div style="font-size: 80%"
 {{{#!python
 >>> optimize([
 ...     migrations.CreateModel("Foo", [("value",
 models.IntegerField(null=True))]),
 ...     migrations.AlterField("Foo", "value",
 models.IntegerField(default=42), preserve_default=False),
 ... ])
 [
     migrations.CreateModel(
         name='Foo',
         fields=[
             ('value', models.IntegerField(default=42)),
         ],
     ),
 ]
 }}}
 }}}

 {{{
 #!div style="font-size: 80%"
 {{{#!python
 >>> optimize([
 ...     migrations.AddField("Foo", "value",
 models.IntegerField(null=True)),
 ...     migrations.AlterField("Foo", "value",
 models.IntegerField(default=42), preserve_default=False),
 ... ])
 [
     migrations.AddField(
         model_name='Foo',
         name='value',
         field=models.IntegerField(default=42),
     ),
 ]
 }}}
 }}}

 {{{
 #!div style="font-size: 80%"
 {{{#!python
 >>> optimize([
 ...     migrations.AddField("Foo", "value",
 models.IntegerField(default=42), preserve_default=False),
 ...     migrations.RenameField("Foo", "value", "price"),
 ... ])
 [
     migrations.AddField(
         model_name='Foo',
         name='price',
         field=models.IntegerField(default=42),
     ),
 ]
 }}}
 }}}

 {{{
 #!div style="font-size: 80%"
 {{{#!python
 >>> optimize([
 ...     migrations.AlterField("Foo", "value",
 models.IntegerField(default=42), preserve_default=False),
 ...     migrations.RenameField("Foo", "value", "price"),
 ,,, ])
 [
     migrations.RenameField(
         model_name='Foo',
         old_name='value',
         new_name='price',
     ),
     migrations.AlterField(
         model_name='Foo',
         name='price',
         field=models.IntegerField(default=42),
     ),
 ]
 }}}
 }}}

 For the cases involving `CreateModel`, I intend to add a new property
 `real_field` (suggestions for a better name are welcome) to
 `AddField`/`AlterField` which would return a possibly modified field after
 taking `preserve_default` into account. It would be the same field that
 these operations put into state. Then `CreateModel` could use the new
 property in its optimization.

 For the other cases, proper passing of `preserve_default` should be
 sufficient.
