605633 - Remove migration-only functionality

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

Description

[James Socol [:jsocol, :james]]

We had to add a couple of tricks to the forums and questions models for the data migration, things that would let you override created and updated dates on the first save. Since the migration is long past, we should strip out those useless features and updated/remove the tests.

I don't think we should go so far as to use auto_now and auto_now_add, since they are totally unoverrideable. (And Django flirts with removing them periodically.) Since 1) there are cases when we need to save without changing updated (see Question.save(update=False)) and 2) we already have the overridden .save() methods, for consistency I think we should stick to default=datetime.datetime.now().

I see the update= parameter still being used.
