Wouldn't it be possible to work around this, even for the time being, by
having auth.User read a SETTING to use as the default max_length
(defaulting of course to the old 75)?
Hardly the prettiest solution, but given the right name
(AUTH_EMAIL_MAXLEN_HACK, anyone?) and documentation it can be made clear
that this is a temporary measure. Maybe even issue a deprecation warning
if used.

This problem is now more severe due to Facebook returning proxied
e-mail addresses in this format:

Unfortunately, the problem of upgrading everyone's existing Django
installations still prevents a core change to auth.User. If you're
serious about getting the email field changed, put that effort into
the work on improving/overhauling auth.
