+1 on having a BinaryField. I'd actually like to see BinaryField be
the "larger" binary field, and have a SmallBinaryField alongside for
databases with those types.

-1 on allowing File/ImageField to be stored in the database. That's
bad design 99% of the time, and will needlessly complicate file upload
code.
