#12Django registration is awesome but still no default templates ( or official companion project that provides them) I don't get it.
if you want sth more complete, try django-userena.

#13Is it now possible (and straightforward) to drop the requirement for a username and solely use email addresses for user accounts?

Why not just enforce the username field to email syntax?

From my quick stint with django-userena, it felt very constrained. At that time, my application's login requirements were simple, but needed a few minor tweaks. It's been a while, but I recall that doing so didn't seem like an easy task, so I switched to django-registration then eventually using the Django 1.5 custom user model.
Overall, I'd say do a quick run through of both. If one of them has exactly what you need, stick with it. Otherwise, you are probably better off using the default User model or extending the default.

#16Am I missing something, or is there a reason that the Django 1.5 implementation didn't stretch into other parts of the project, like the built-in RegistrationForm? It still uses the old User model directly.

because prior to the new User implementation in 1.5, you couldn't change the length of the username CharField. Long emails wouldn't fit.
