After noticing the new NullBooleanField, I am thinking it would be nice
to have the same sort of yes/no dropdown option for BooleanField
(without the "unknown" choice of course). What do you think?

Hey Gary,

NullBooleanField has been in Django since before it was open-sourced...

http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/tags/notable_moments/ipo/django/core/meta.py#L1945

I'm -0 on having BooleanFields use a drop down in the admin interface.
Radio buttons are so much more usable, if you only have two choices.
If anything, we should change NullBooleanFields to use radio buttons.

That would be fine too.
