24429	Revise docs regarding non-int primary key on custom user models	shadfc	nobody	"The docs (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/auth/customizing/#specifying-a-custom-user-model, point #1) say that a custom user model must have an integer primary key but do not specify why. https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/24161 dealt with a session issue and has been fixed.

I would like to be able to use a UUID as the pk for a custom user model but this message makes me unsure if I should attempt that. Tim Graham suggested opening a ticket to investigate this issue and either remove that note from the docs or add a better explanation to it."
