I never Meta model I didn't like...
summary
Explains Django 1.8 stabilizing the Meta interface into just get_field and get_fields and field attributes that reveal cardinality and concreteness; shows Daniel Pyrathon’s django-mailer as a working proof (about 500 lines of glue) that exposes Gmail via managers, querysets and a Meta duck so admin and forms work; notes a few small core patches are required, reports it actually works as a proof‑of‑concept and enables metaducks for MongoDB, LDAP, SQLAlchemy, etc.
