Description

The response to ticket #15957 at https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/15957#comment:1 says:

You shouldn't use ModelChoiceField for more than 1000 entries. Anyway, it becomes very quickly unusable beyond 100 entries.

It would be helpful if this were added to the ModelChoiceField documentation.
