It would seem so but it is everything but simple: First of, for a relative path one needs a base path to join with, what is that? In your example it's the project root, Django doesn't have such thing as a project root. All that Django requires is a settings module which is importable (and not even that if you call settings.configure() yourself). Secondly if you were to suggest the cwd (current working directory) this won't work either since many deployment solutions change that. That said I am in agreement with the answers of the other core devs on the ticket and won't support this feature.
