Comment (by ksl):
I see your point now. It then all boils down to the meaning of a field's
default.
I always thought of "default" as a way for my users to be provided with a
sensible default (hey!) value so that they are not forced to pick that
value in a select (for instance). On the other hand, what you are
describing is a "default" that almost behaves as a "blank value".
Since having `blank=False` along with a `default` value for a given field
does not lead to the desired result (ie: the field being saved with its
default value) and that changing that would be backwards-incompatible, may
I propose an additional boolean flag (`save_default`?) on `Field`, as
follows?
{{{
age = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(_("age"), blank=False, null=False,
default=0, save_default=True)
}}}
If not doable, maybe some list borne by the `ModelAdmin`: `save_defaults =
[age]`?
