I don't think a doc patch is sufficient to address the problem, and I 
highly doubt that a warning would be heard by the vast majority. The 
attention this bug needs is someone to write a patch to fix the code. 
Looking at the ticket, 4 weeks ago someone suggested some code that *may* 
fix the problem. If you were to test the change by modifying your local 
django and validating that the fix works, I'd think that someone would be 
more likely to step up and make it committable.

Fixing bugs like this takes a lot of work. Someone needs to identify the 
issue, verify the problem, write a test case to prove it, track down the 
issue in code, figure out how it might be corrected, test that it works, 
perhaps write another test, run the test suite, add release notes, and get 
it reviewed. Every bug in trac competes for this time. If you're able to 
effectively halve the time needed, that issue becomes a lot more attractive 
to 'finish'.

I'll even put my hand up to try to fix it if you verify that the patch in 
the ticket from 4 weeks ago works. I don't (yet) have much experience with 
the admin, but if there is a straight forward fix available, that'll be a 
good introduction for me.

Regards,

Josh
