Revisiting the case-sensitive login for the default user manager

Hello fellow Djangoers, I am new to the framework and just recently built a site using it.
However I was not aware of the username hurdle until just recently.
I did some research and found that I can make my own user manager and etc.

Now this is probably a bit of a hack, but tell me what you think.

I am on 1.6.5 and I did this:

from:

def get_by_natural_key(self, username):
        return self.get(**{self.model.USERNAME_FIELD: username})

to:

def get_by_natural_key(self, username):
        return self.get(username__iexact=username)

It works and does what I need it to do. How illegal is this and what potential problems can this create that I may not see now?

Thanks guys
