Django has a number of optional features that require the installation

I've created a pull request adding the optional dependencies found in
the test requirements: https://github.com/django/django/pull/9440 /
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28905
So end users can do things like:
$ pip install Django[mysql,sqlparse,images,memcached]
$ pip install Django[postgresql,gis]
$ pip install Django[selenium,test-parallel]
Good idea! I have two comments:
First, in the ticket, I see psycopg2 as requirement for the "postgresql"
extra. Fine. That's totally required.
For the "gis" extra it is numpy and geoip2. Numpy isn't strictly
required: according to the readme it is 'highly recommended'.
=> What is the meaning of such an 'extra'? Does it contain 'highly
recommended' and higher? Or also optional packages?
You *do* mention 'optional' in the ticket. So if I do 'Django[gis]' I
ought to get every package that's mentioned as "hey, that's handy" in
the documentation, right?
Second, I wonder whether the one-item extras are really needed. If you
want to use numpy, you'll install numpy yourself. You don't really need
'Django[numpy]' to tell you to install numpy.
admindocs->docutils: yes, that's handy
numpy->numpy: seems less useful
gis->numpy and geoip2: yes, useful
