11653	Manager not inherited in model inheritance	Alex Robbins	nobody	"I have a base model that defines some published fields and has a manager that knows how to use them. When other models inherit from it, they get the fields. However, they don't get the manager. (It is intentionally left out http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/db/models/base.py#L73)

I know I can just set the manager explicitly on every child model, but that is the sort of thing I was hoping to avoid by using inheritance.

The knowledgeable jdunck explained that a new manager instance has to be made since managers know what model they are for, and the child models need a different manager instance than the parent. It isn't as simple as removing line 77 in the above code.

Still it'd be nice..."		closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	1.1		wontfix			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
