It means if you specify a CharField without a length, you don't know how many 
characters it can accept without error.  That doesn't seem like something we 
should make a change to accept.

The current behavior seems entirely reasonable, and I'm not sure I understand 
what problems it is causing.  Specifying a maximum length on a CharField is not 
just a random habit; it should be done as a way of sanity checking the value to 
a reasonable length.  Sometimes, that's natural to the data (there are no 50 
character telephone numbers or 5000 character email addresses), sometimes it's 
just a way of making sure that something bad doesn't get into the database.
