Comment (by dvg):

 The "... spirit of not needlessly offering multiple ways to do the same
 thing ..." makes a lot of sense to me.

 However, there's this question on StackOverflow:

 [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/687295 How do I do a not equal in
 Django queryset filtering?]

 Current stats:

 - **555246 views**

 Just to be clear, this is a **really** high view count: top 0.02% (top
 5500 out of 23 million questions, according to
 https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow)

 Apparently, the alternatives to an `__ne` lookup are not that obvious to
 many people.

 Perhaps it's worth re-opening this issue and, for example, implementing
 the `ne` from the [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/howto/custom-
 lookups/#a-lookup-example custom lookup example]?
