I'm new to Django (recently converted from TurboGears), and the first
real flaw I've managed to find in my use of Django is actually a
rather insignificant one.

I'm talking about the lack of a favicon on Django's websites (apart
from Django's trac instance, which uses the trac favicon.)

Before filing a ticket, I found an earlier discussion of this at
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3867
Jacob states "We don't really need a favicon...". I'd like to
challenge this and say "No, we really do need one".

To illustrate my point, take a look at this image, a screenshot of a
very normal Firefox tab bar of mine:

It's much easier for me to find what I need by help of favicons - and
yes, most of the time, I have so many tabs open that I cannot see the
title of the web pages.

favicons have become a commodity. Almost all larger sites have one.
Google, Amazon, Yahoo, Microsoft, Linux.com, New York Times, IBM, Sun,
etc.

I realise that "Everyone else has one" is not a valid argument. I
realise that you might not want or care for favicons. But it is a
major help to those of us that rely on tabs and bookmarks, and I
really do hope you'll reconsider this.
