Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #11442, comment 11

initial	v1
1		This also unexpectedly breaks any custom fields that have the `inet` database type. For example, when performing a lookup for a subnet, this HOST() conversion will produce no results, since the prefix length is stripped. And it is very annoying since the only way to work around it seems to be writing a custom manager that specifies a custom `WhereNode` implementation for the query set. This decision of casting every `inet`-thing via HOST() was really unwise and should be fixed.

And it is very annoying since the only way to work around it seems to be writing a custom manager that specifies a custom `WhereNode` implementation for the query set (or an ugly way is to add an extra space into the returned `db_type` so it doesn't match and is not mangled in the backend).
