It's none of this, it's all design philosophies, everyone trying to exert
their own
Alot of people think the admin section is for admins, not arbitrary data
updates from users and provide generic crud views for users. Others think
users and admin should be able to do everything within the admin panel becaue
it's there. Some hardcore folks can say f**k the admin panel and build their
own from scratch, others may just do direct db inserts using some db tool
(like pgadmin3).
How it's done is upto the developer in question. But expect answers that say
"you're doing it wrong cause that's not how I do it." Because no one
understands that my choice may not be your choice.
*remembers first time I asked about the admin panel in irc and someone tried
to convince me the admin panel was for database administrators, not site
admins.*

A lawyer named Strange was shopping for a tombstone. After he had
made his selection, the stonecutter asked him what inscription he
would like on it. "Here lies an honest man and a lawyer," responded the
lawyer.
"Sorry, but I can't do that," replied the stonecutter. "In this
state, it's against the law to bury two people in the same grave. However,
I could put ``here lies an honest lawyer'', if that would be okay."
"But that won't let people know who it is" protested the lawyer.
"Certainly will," retorted the stonecutter. "people will read it
and exclaim, "That's Strange!"
