Don't get me wrong here, I mean "we refuse to even think" in a positive fashion, as a rational conclusion after much thinking, and may well be valid one for django in the current case. Its quite similar to position on thread safety, thread safety is complex issue, and trying to prove thread safety for entire django and all subsequent patches accepted would/could slow down the development quite a bit, and thus django developers/committers kind of "refuse to think about it" when committing/releasing. I just happen to think its much simpler in this case, django core+contrib apps in django svn[1] have hardly a dozen views+middlewares, it would not be difficult to go through them and put the info on a wiki page. [This is when "we refuse to think about" becomes django's position, which happens to be current position, my objection is merely that it should not be rooted in ideology, but on technical merits/considerations[2]]. [1]: I hate overloaded words, whats the term for django == django that is in the trunk? Django core? But it excludes contrib apps, but saying django core+contrib might imply/include apps that are not really in django.contrib, but also on google code etc. I guess django-svn should do. [2]: There are too many ways to use django, and one cant think about all of them is a valid technical reason, but what I am talking about here may be important enough given its impact in scaling, which should be kind of somewhere on django's priorities. -- Amit Upadhyay Vakow! www.vakow.com +91-9820-295-512 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
