Comment:

 Been discussing this quite a bit, I will close as:
 - a person can use
 
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.get_fields
 ModelAdmin.get_fields] to remove any field a user doesn't have permission
 to view
 - this was [https://github.com/django/django/pull/12343#issue-551969369
 previously considered] and is consistent with raw_id fields
 - the current solution adds some complexity

 I think the root of the problem might be elsewhere and we first need to
 agree what does it mean when you can't "view" (should the field be there
 at all?)
 I don't think we thought of something strong enough to revert the decision
 that "it's not worth it".
