Comment (by loic84):
IMO it's good practice to add it.
Breaking the `__init__` chain tend to bite you when you least expect it,
#20619 was an example of that.
As I already mentioned on IRC, the base implementation of
`get_context_data()` was specifically added in #16074 to play the role of
`object.__init__()`, which is, always being there so subclasses can just
call `super` without thinking about the `__mro__`.
