Comment (by bcail):
What if we changed the defaults in django to "utf8mb4", but put prominent
notes in the documentation for how users can set the database options to
use "utf8mb3"? We could link to a page like
[https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/9.0/en/charset-unicode-conversion.html
this], and then users could stay on utf8mb3 if they need to, and django
wouldn't need to try to automatically migrate data.
