If it ain't broke don't fix it. The django admin is awesome, the reason it hasn't changed much is because it doesn't need to. Google.com's home page still more or less looks the same as it did in 2000. With that being said if the Django admin was "RESTfull" i.e. you can authenticate and make changes without the browser (application/json requests, for example) then "downstream theme maintainers" don't need to worry about how the HTML pages are returned so long as the API doesn't change. This also makes building native and client side applications easier IMHO. It seems to me that the django rest framework already accomplishes the criteria I mentioned above. tl;dr I'm very much against adding modal's to the django admin interface.
