Comment (by leond):
First I was convinced that this had to be changed. Later I discovered a
good workaround because of the following: If you change this in the module
code, there will be developers who may be dissatisfied with the relaxed
restrictions. Or there may be developers who still are not satisfied. It
may be that there are alway unsatisfied developers, no matter how you
rewrite the module code. So the best solution (in my opinion) is to simply
put a piece of code into your own admin.py and your own forms.py. You can
find it in the attachments. I uploaded them several months ago and it
works really fine.
I am completely against changing the module code as that never satisfies
every single developer! Please use the workaround I posted or take it as
an idead to code a better one.
