Having read your replies in this thread I refrain from speaking about 
general directions :-). This one was about particular issue of two 
http-related modules.

Yeah this was the main point. I understand that views.decorators.http 
dates back to first release of Django and that django.http was initially 
just a container for HttpRequest and HttpResponse. But now I think it's 
more convenient to have just one module for all HTTP-related mechanics. 
We already have plenty utils in django.http, why not merge two 
decorators into them?

Pleasing everybody is never the goal. It is unreachable whether we do 
anything at all or not :-)
