Adding a backwards compatibility shim has already been discussed (a few messages earlier in this thread). The plan is to back port two parts of the #3011 patch to 1.4: * The global setting AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'auth.User' * An implementation of get_user_model() that always returns auth.User. This means that when 1.5 is released (and we release 1.4.2), the same User access code will run on the current stable and security versions. I haven't added this code to the 1.4 branch yet, but my intention is to do so before the 1.5 release is finalised.
