Re: Subclassing User class or User class "profiles" recommended for extra attributes?

+1 It's been a while since I've seen anything on this and would really
like to know if profiles are really here to stay.

I do understand the technical issues but I can't see any that can't be
circumvented. Something as integral as membership should be more
flexible without the need for spanning personal data over two tables/
queries/etc.

I did see this recently: http://scottbarnham.com/blog/2008/08/21/extending-the-django-user-model-with-inheritance/

And that (along with its comments) does seem to go some way to solving
the whole problem... It's just sad that this sort of functionality
isn't built into Django.
