17168	Transaction middleware only creates transaction for default database	david.winterbottom@…	David Winterbottom	"The current implementation of django.middleware.TransactionMiddleware does not create a transaction for each database defined in the DATABASES setting, only the one defined by DEFAULT_DB_ALIAS.  You can see this quite clearly by reading the source of: - 
https://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/db/utils.py.  

Shouldn't the middleware manage a transaction for each database defined in the DATABASES setting? 

Happy to provide tests and patch if this makes sense - I just wanted to check this wasn't a design decision first.  I did email the mailing list with this question but no responses received:
