I don't see a need to add this functionality for use beyond the scope of the admin site. The auto_now options aren't coupled to a request, so they're a special case. Coupling a request's user object to manipulators is something we shouldn't do. The proposed solution of encapsulating it in the "class Admin" is nice and clean.
