Not really -- it explains why adding it makes things work, but it doesn't explain why I *have* to include it. "syncdb" is smart enough to figure out that DerivedModel(BaseModel) has django.db.models.Model *somewhere* in its super-class ancestry, so I don't see why it can't also be smart enough to then figure out that "BaseModel" needs to be included for ORM automatically.
