Description
We've previously documented some side issues of the two options (e.g. #6434) but need to better clarify the downsides of those magic parameters. The ability to override the save method as well as the default parameter has long made this implicit feature capable of being replaced.
This would probably also be a way to not let users fall in the trap as documented in #16745 and #22571.
In a previous *old* discussion there were multiple core developers in favor of the deprecation: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers/TNYxwiXLTlI
