It provides the lorem template tag. The functionality has not changed in 7 
years and it has 20 commits in its history which are mostly maintenance 
oriented (pep8, adding app loading compatibility).

Options:

* Move it into the main template tag library and deprecate the hook in 
contrib.

* Remove it from Django and provide no replacement (let the community 
maintain it somewhere).

* Remove it from Django and maintain it as a separate project under 
(django/django).

* Your idea here


thoughts on deprecating it from ​2011 mailing list thread 
<https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-developers/P_WMxmOCJFY/discussion>
:

Carl: +1

Paul M: +0 on webdesign, since it's functionality that's probably in 
transient use by the more invisible members of our community.

Markus G: I'd miss it even though it's just a tiny piece of code and 
trivial, it's quite useful when you mock up a site and thus need some text 
to get a feeling for its layout when there's lots of text involved. I am 
sure, as you say, there are quite a few people out there who would miss it 
too.

Gabriel: As for webdesign, why not roll the one piece in it (the 
marginally-useful lorem tag) into the main library and deprecate the hook 
in contrib?
