+== Changes to management.py commands ==
+
+In [5898], we refactored `management.py`. This was partially to clean up a 1700 line file, but also to allow user applications to register commands for use in `management.py`.
+
+As a result, any calls to management services in your code will need to be adjusted. For example, if you have some test code that calls `flush` and `load_data`:
+{{{
+>>> from django.core import management
+>>> management.flush(verbosity=0, interactive=False)
+>>> management.load_data(['test_data'], verbosity=0)
+}}}
+
+You will need to change this code to read:
+{{{
+>>> from django.core import management
+>>> management.call_command('flush', verbosity=0, interactive=False)
+>>> management.call_command('load_data', ['test_data'], verbosity=0)
+}}}
