As I see it, the problem is twofold:

1. It's hard to say definitively which settings are "safe". For
example, my personal blog has  a setting which stores my del.icio.us
password.
2. The definition of "template author" can get fuzzy, especially in
collaborative, web-2.0-buzzword applications. So it's not a matter of
trusting the person who writes your primary template set, it's a
matter of trusting everyone who might *ever* touch a template.

For the record, I'm a somewhat non-forceful +1 on a context processor
for MEDIA_URL, etc., but I can see this going either way.
