Comment (by tomchristie):
This seems like a bit of an anti-pattern to me.
If more than one intermediate class is defining `__init__()` then it's up
to the superclass to properly determine the behaviour.
We don't call into `super` in the base class implementations of, say
`get_context_data()` it's not at all clear to me that it's ether a
necessary or a good thing to do in `__init__()`.
