Comment (by aaugustin):
AFAIK it's a conscious choice not to talk about anything related to
deployment (like ALLOWED_HOSTS) in the tutorial. The tutorial must stay
focused on its main purpose; it mustn't be a default place for docs that
don't fit anywhere else.
I strongly believe that insufficient information is worse than no
information at all, and for this reason I would really like if we could
keep settings.py as is (although I don't have much hope and I'm pretty
sure settings.py will grow some cruft again; well, at least I'll voice my
opposition).
There's tons of useful advice to give about deployment; the deployment
checklist helps much more than random, piecemeal advice in settings.py. I
have to admit that I don't care very much about users who can't be
bothered to read the docs, too.
