Strongly? No. But I do remember that the values in settings were
originally in __init__.py and were moved to settings.py as a way to separate
out the stuff that users can override from the stuff that they shouldn't touch:
the whole settings_override.py design. They were always simple attributes of
the dabo module, so when we refactored them out, we added the 'from settings
import *' to keep them that way. Conceptually, though, they are attributes of
the dabo namespace, and referencing them like that seems a lot cleaner.
