A couple of reasons not to do it. 1. It adds more complexity to Django, and to it's documentation, to save a few characters. 2. Auto-prefixing wouldn't work if you were trying to change 2 or more instances of the same model on the same page; they'd all have the same prefix. If you're serious about it though, you could bring up a discussion on django-dev. Submitting a ticket with a patch and tests would by far be your best bet.
