John,
Just my two cents worth but, part of developing in Django is figuring out
these kind of problems for yourself.
Something you need to remember about Django, is that it isn't perfect, it's
a community effort.
If you think the devs have done something wrong, then do something about it
by creating an improvement ticket and explain how it could be done better
(this is what I do anyway!). Otherwise, it makes you sound a
bit pretentious :/
