Yes, that method works, and that's the recommended way to go for now,
but
I think I'd like to see this functionality in trunk, too. Previously
when I needed a M2M model with sequence or other data, I just created
the M2M model explicitly with ForeignKey fields to the two related
models.
class Role(models.Model):
role = models.CharField(maxlength=255)

You may well be
Yeah! This is much cleaner. I need to add ordering to some model
relations (i.e. represent all related values as an ordered list, where
relations can be shifted up & down) to the M2M field, it looks like it
would fit much easier using a manager & concrete Model subclass than

accomplish it.

I've been giving a bit of thought into many-to-many relationships
lately, and I (once again) ran across the task of creating a
relationship that contained additional information. I know this has
been bounced around before, but I can't seem to find any substantial
discussions on the topic, so I wro
