Even though it would be nice, unfortunately it's a backwards incompatible change. It hasn't been something that has been brought up in my memory since this ticket was opened so I am going to close as a "soft" wontfix.
If someone thinks this could be useful still, an alternate approach would be to propose a method which determined whether a field should be included (this could then be overridden by a subclass to implement the functionality of this ticket).
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Sounds reasonable. The "editable" attribute is a presentation-related Admin artefact, so being able to override it isn't a bad idea. The default behaviour's good, too.
