Sure, give me 12 months of two full time experienced Django developers and
we can rewrite the admin.

Honestly, I think everyone knows the admin would benefit from a significant
rewrite. However, as the efforts of admin2 proved, it's a huge job to
undertake. The admin has a huge number of features and customisation
points, many of which have been developed in an ad-hoc sense. There are
hundreds of thousands of deployments of it in the wild, and hundreds of
packages which use and abuse it. I don't want to say it can't be done,
because I'd like it to be done. However it would require a gargantuan
effort to achieve.

A first step would be to work on a DEP. Probably a long one.
