33872	Deprecate CICharField, CIEmailField, CITextField.	Mariusz Felisiak	Mariusz Felisiak	"Django 3.2+ supports `db_collation` for `CharField` and `TextField` (see #31777) along with migration operations (`CreateCollation()`, `RemoveCollation()`) and the database function `Collate()` (see #21181). Moreover CI fields and the entire `citext` module are discouraged since [https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/citext.html PostgreSQL 12] (which is the minimum version supported by Django 4.2+) in favor of collations. I think it's time to deprecate CI fields from the `contrib.postgres` in favor of `CharField` and `TextField` with case insensitive collations.
