I track trunk while developing new projects, and I just picked up the new contrib.staticfiles app. I was disappointed how repetitive and redundant the configuration is. I already have MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL defined, so now I have to add
STATICFILES_ROOT = MEDIA_ROOT STATICFILES_URL = MEDIA_URL STATICFILES_DIRS = (STATICFILES_ROOT,) just to get things back working like before. What is the purpose of having both MEDIA_* *and* STATICFILES_* settings? Don't they mean the same thing? If there's a good reason to have all these settings, can we not have the settings I had to enter above as defaults, similar to how MANAGERS = ADMINS by default?
