Description

The URL at http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/models/subclassing/ implies that model subclassing is ready for use, when many messages on django-users (and good amount of personal frustration) would seem to indicate that it's not. This page should be update to clearly state that subclassing models *will eventually* be a usable feature, but is currently to be avoided, ideally, describing alternate approaches (one-to-one relationships?).

(in addition, maybe the docs that haven't been updated since before the m-r merge could also be marked as such)

Fixed; I removed the docs temporarily.
