28577	Create system checks for mutable defaults on ArrayField and JSONField	Flávio Juvenal	Flávio Juvenal	"Django docs state ""Incorrectly using default=[] creates a mutable default that is shared between all instances of ArrayField."" [1].
This is a subtle bug that can be prevented with a new system check. IMO error prevention is good UX. Django should have system checks for those warnings in docs.
I've implemented this check: https://github.com/django/django/pull/8930
