Comment (by kmtracey):
I agree it makes sense from the programmer's point of view that bulk
delete bypasses individual delete overrides. On the other side, though, I
believe there are plenty of users of the admin interface who never have
anything to do with writing code, haven't the vaguest idea what a queryset
is, and therefore might be rather surprised that bulk delete from admin
behaves somewhat differently than individual delete. One might argue that
the people writing the code behind that -- who have customized delete()
and probably been careful to not use delete() on a queryset if there is
something in their custom delete() they want to be sure always happens --
should be responsible for ensuring that bulk delete isn't available from
their admin or is customized to do the right thing (can it be? I've done
nothing with bulk actions in admin -- could one replace the default delete
method with a different one that calls individual deletes?). At a minimum
we probably need to mention this in the admin actions doc. If we could
provide guidance on how to avoid it, if desired, while still allowing the
user the convenience of bulk delete, that would be even better.
