Description (last modified by Djonathan)

Since version 2.2 PostGIS accepts any geographic SRID with the geography type, but django still has a check to prevent it. It would be nice to remove this restriction from Django.

PostGIS documentation confirming this:
​https://postgis.net/docs/manual-3.1/postgis_usage.html#PostGIS_Geography:~:text=Prior%20to%20PostGIS%202.2

Django restriction:
​https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/contrib/gis/db/backends/postgis/operations.py#L263

I can work on this if accepted.
