It's kind of a long shot, but I give it a try.
Let's make `Flatpage` swappable. I've opened a discussion about the
feature at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/django-developers/WFdCEpB-
fMM/6rRae4QLBgAJ. Despite the little support at developers, I suspect the
swap would be used once available.
There is a number of attempts to extend the flatpages

Since it is not possible to inherit custom `Flatpage` from an abstract
`Flatpage` model, there are two options. Make an extra table which
generates join on every use, which is ineffective, or copy the whole
`Flatpage` application, which is terrible to maintain. There is number of
projects which extends the `Flatpage` by copying the whole model
* https://github.com/danawoodman/django-flatpages-plus
* https://github.com/PragmaticMates/django-flatpages-i18n
* https://github.com/toastdriven/django-superflatpages
* https://github.com/FUUK/fuuk/tree/master/fuuk/fuflatpages
I assume the lack of support at developers mailing list is caused by
developers who needed to extend `Flatpage` already did it one way or
another, it most cases by copying the `flatpages` app as is.
The `swappable` is already implemented, so let's use it.
