Comment (by Michał Pasternak):
Hey, yes, I'm back.
I second your opinion. Me myself, I haven't really decided between "I wish
I have never used GenericForeignKeys" and "this is cool functionality and
PostgreSQL makes it even better". But... if your opinion on this topic
reflects the general opinion of the whole Django core team - IDK, maybe it
would be better to move GenericForeignKeys to external module and rip them
out of Django... or to add some more stuff, likewise as PostgreSQL
contrib. Having them in makes the ORM less database-y and more NoSQL...
... but if you look at how are things implemented, they're a terrible
hack. Like a bomb waiting to blow up someday.
Anyways, as for me and my small project, I'm glad to be on your radar,
just in case.
