Seems fair enough. Just needs some tests.

No, we don't want to do this. It's adding an attribute to model fields that is only for presentational control. Presentation information does not belong in data models.
If you want this sort of control and still want to use form_for_model(), then use the formfield_callback attribute to control things.

Maybe I'm missing something, but radio_admin is already an attribute of model fields:

What's the attribute getting added?

Logically, radio_admin should go away in newforms-admin. Just like prepopulate_from, it only exists for admin presentational purposes. Adding in a new feature that depends on it will mean people get attached to (and write code that depends on) a feature that should be on death row.
Still inclined to wontfix, but I'll "design decision" it for the time being and worry about it later.

Agreeing with Malcolm, but going ahead with the wontfix; the "radio_admin" feature is going away.
use RadioSelect widget if radio_admin=True
