From #5639, although I'm indifferent to its inclusion.

Thanks @rpkilby.

I'm basically +1 here, since there's always a degree of confusion as to how these flags interact.

Bottom line is (I guess) it's just complicated but until such a time as we can re-work things/docs to be clearer more detail is better.

Normally an error will be raised if `None` is passed to a serializer field. Set this keyword argument to `True` if `None` should be considered a valid value.

Note that setting this argument to `True` will imply a default value of `null` for serialization output, but does imply a default for input deserialization.

Hi,

shouldn't this:

but does imply a default for input deserialization.

be instead:

but does not imply a default for input deserialization.

Sorry for the noise if I'm wrong :)

Yep - that's definitely a typo.
