# Week ending 2023-08-13 (Week 32)
This (past) week I’ve been intermittently available and working odd hours because my child had to go through a medical procedure. All went well, so next week I should return to my normal (and more predictable) schedule.

Thanks for the ping @nessita. I’ve been following along from the stands. 😜
I didn’t dig in deeply but, at quick look, I would absolutely go for the minimum to maintain the behaviour on main, and not think about more complete callable support in this ticket.
If you want me to dig in, give me a breadcrumb and a mention on GitHub, maybe that test?, and I’m happy to do so, but I don’t have a strong opinion beyond old one about the performance of generating choices (that’s resolved already).

Leaving this here for others to be aware: I agree with this sentence, and after some investigation, I suggested a change in `normalize_choices` so we can keep the original behavior in the model field’s `choices` while progressing the `choices` handling code to a better and unified place.
If (any of) you have thoughts, please do share! Thanks.
