Hi Carl, Thruthfully some part of my reason for forking was that I was running an older version of Django which didn't have custom user models. In that case it's a bit more difficult to override the manager and I've seen quite a few external projects (accidently) do something like "User.objects.all()" and doing an if or loop around it. Quite problematic with a few million users.
Regardless, it still requires forking either Django or all external projects (in case of different models) so the problem is not solved by custom managers.
