GeoModelSerializer obsolete in upcoming 0.9.3

There'll be no more need to base your serializers on GeoModelSerializer since 0.9.3.

You just need to add 'rest_framework_gis' in your INSTALLED_APPS, and the app inizialization will take care of updating DRF fields mapping only once when the project is initialized.

Doing the old way will still work in 0.9.3 although issuing loud deprecation warnings. I'll remove GeoModelSerializer in 1.0.

I have a question about this. Does this mean that if I have DRF-gis installed then there is no way to get the default ModelSerializer behavior from DRF (where geo fields are rendered as WKT strings)? This may not be an issue for most use cases, but potentially could be.

That would be quite awkward, but easily solvable in several ways. For example, by leaving a legacy GeoModelSerializer with the old behaviour without the need of adding drf-gis to INSTALLED_APPS.
