Replying to [comment:3 Jacob Walls]:
> A tiny hint for the test client seems like a not disruptive change for
the auth backends. It is new API, though, so we need a new features
discussion to make sure we're not missing anything. It would also be nice
to know if `django-rules` and `django-guardian` are willing to use the
feature we build for them here.

VIZZARD-X brought this ticket to our attention, and we’ve taken it into
consideration. There is indeed an issue here regarding future
compatibility, and he is putting in a serious effort to address it;
https://github.com/django-guardian/django-guardian/pull/948
I believe the second “tricky” solution you mentioned—adding a “noop” field
and running tests through that field—would be an improvement that wouldn’t
harm the core Django structure and would also easily ensure the tests run
successfully.
Speaking as a maintainer of the Django-Guardian team, if this small patch
is accepted, we would be happy to use it and incorporate this feature into
the project. Because the concept of asynchronous processing is a valuable
feature we also need to adapt to. I’d like to note that we’re eager to use
this feature if it’s added, to ensure your tests can be written and run
successfully.
