Comment (by romgar):

 I was wondering the other day why the default Django admin widget for
 related fields is a drop-down by default, instead of an autocomplete (as
 we can have with `raw_id_field` option), when my Django admin page was
 crashing down.
 I understand that it's more convenient with a drop-down when you have few
 data, but there is a real risk for Django to crash / expose a lot of data
 through this feature, and that's not what we are used to with Django.
 Usually, default choices in the whole framework are "safe".
 @aaugustin, I guess you are not working on it right now, as this ticket is
 4 years old.
 Do you think it make sense to change this default behaviour, or it has too
 many impacts?
