In a perfect world yes, but this is a world with ORM's as I found out the hard way:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/models/fields/#primary-key

"The primary key field is read-only. If you change the value of the primary key on an existing object and then save it, a new object will be created alongside the old one."
