Description

The documentation at http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/managers/

"If you use custom Manager objects, take note that the first Manager
Django encounters (in the order in which they're defined in the model)
has a special status. Django interprets this first Manager defined in
a class as the "default" Manager, and several parts of Django (though
not the admin application) will use that Manager exclusively for that
model."

is wrong, the admin app is no exception to this.

The current text is the most accurate. It's not the case that the admin will always use the default manager, since ModelAdmin.queryset() could be overridden. Assuming that (the default manager will be used) to always be the case will lead to confusion, so best that the user is warned. I don't think this is worth changing. The queryset() method should be explained in the admin documentation, but that's a separate issue.
