Hello everyone,

Here are some thoughts on the unsettings issue. If you haven't heard about
unsettings, it is an attempt to move away from using the settings global.
There was a discussion at djangocon (which I wasn't there for, but I was
told about it) which led to some of my colleagues and I working on it.

Our github repository:
https://github.com/SlashRoot/django


The remaining problems in removing settings seem to fall into one of three
categories:
-Settings that are too heavily entwined with Basesettings, Lazysettings,
getattr and setattr... etc. DEBUG is an obvious example. I'm not sure if we
can solve this with the decorator, or if we're gonna need a different
solution or methodology.
-Peculiar pieces of code. I'll include some examples below. This includes
functional programming, lambda statements, optimizations, and code that
clever. I think we're gonna need to consult people with more experience
with this code on a case by case basis.
-Code that is not well tested. There's not too much we can do about this
code. We're just going to have to deal with it when it presents itself.

Some examples:
