This deprecates use_for_related_fields.
Old API:
class CustomManager(models.Model):
use_for_related_fields = True
class Model(models.Model):
custom_manager = CustomManager()
New API:
class Model(models.Model):
custom_manager = CustomManager()
class Meta:
base_manager_name = 'custom_manager'

Thanks Carl Meyer for the guidance throughout this work.
Thanks Tim Graham for writing the docs.
The only reason why GenericForeignKey and GenericRelation are stored
separately inside _meta is that they need to be cloned for every model
subclass, but that's not true for any other virtual field. Actually,
it's only true for GenericRelation.
Avoided unnecessary list operations and delattr() calls that result
in an exception being raised as it causes call frame reconstruction
which is very costly, especially so in a function that is called
millions of times.
Moved the lookup in Field.swappable_setting to Apps, and added
an lru_cache to cache the results.

Thanks Marten Kenbeek for the initial work on the patch. Thanks Aymeric
Augustin and Tim Graham for the review.
Field.rel is now deprecated. Rel objects have now also remote_field
attribute. This means that self == self.remote_field.remote_field.
In addition, made the Rel objects a bit more like Field objects. Still,
marked ManyToManyFields as null=True.
The reason for the regression was that the GenericForeignKey field isn't
something meta.get_field_by_name() should return. The reason is that a
couple of places in Django expects get_field_by_name() to work this way.
It could make sense to return GFKs from get_field_by_name(), but that
should likely be done as part of meta refactoring or virtual fields
refactoring patches.
Thanks to glicerinu@gmail.com for the report and to Tim for working on
the issue.
GenericRelation now supports an optional related_query_name argument.
Setting related_query_name adds a relation from the related object back to
the content type for filtering, ordering and other query operations.
Thanks to Loic Bistuer for spotting a couple of important issues in
his review.
This is the result of Christopher Medrela's 2013 Summer of Code project.
Thanks also to Preston Holmes, Tim Graham, Anssi Kääriäinen, Florian
Apolloner, and Alex Gaynor for review notes along the way.
Also: Fixes#8579, fixes#3055, fixes#19844.
