In our situation, we want the user to choose either yes or no. The only requirement is that they fill out the form. It is not required that they answer True/Yes.

The BooleanField treats None and False as False; The NullBooleanField distinguishes between None and False, but it doesn't raise any validation errors.

Subclassing the NullBooleanField was better than overriding the clean method on all of our NullBooleanField instances.
