Finally got around to reviewing the last of those, but personally I'd
much rather we cut 2.2.0 now and focused on this and the above for
3.0.0. Clearly the relations work is important and useful work, but we
haven't had a release in well over a year and the versions of Django we
support are getting cruftier by the day. Two of the other three changes
could in theory be backported post release too. If we cut the release
now, that takes a bit of pressure off and means we won't end up forcing
the relation work through just to get a release out.

Thoughts?
