• add optional FOR UPDATE clause to QuerySets
• ​multiple database APIs
• Cache queryset results
• Identity Map (see also DjangoSpecifications/Core/SingleInstance)

• Make select_related work with reverse onetoones

Admin:

Misc:

• create a list of tickets in trac db that have a high interested people count (as if something is important to many, it should be considered):
