Changing User model

Hola,

For a new project, I will be creating a separate Profile class for all
information about my Users that isn't covered by User.

One thing I did want though, was to change the login username to the
email address.

From what I've read in the code and docs, am I right in presuming that
I can subclass AbstractUser and just change
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
to get this result?

All of the examples I've seen* suggest going all the way to
AbstractBaseUser - but I'm ok with AbstractUser, I just want the
single change?

Cheers
L.

cheers
L.
