Description
Ideally one could safely import models anytime, but they just wouldn't be available in the app registry or register themselves with the ORM (e.g. attach related managers to other models) until/unless their app were installed. (The general principle being that errors on import, or having to be careful what you import when, is an unfortunate smell due to reliance on import side effects.)
