PROJECT_ROOT would still need to be defined inside the settings.py
module, using the os.path.dir(__file__) etc. dance, because it can't be
defined within django code (which doesn't know where your project
lives), and a utility function to do it isn't worth it (it's only one
line, and you don't want your settings file to be doing imports to
Django code).
So I agree with the original WONTFIX here.
I also think that app directories for the template loader is a better
solution, and making a 'project' app if necessary answers the objection.
However, I do see a case for putting the PROJECT_ROOT code into the
settings.py generated by creating a new template, and updating the help
text for TEMPLATE_DIRS and STATICFILES_DIRS to mention it.
