Comment:
Generating an actual setting for this is a bad idea, IMO -- too unclear
what effect it would have, too likely to become out of date or be edited
wrongly, and too likely to be used in ways that would cause breakage if
so.
But I could see value in adding a simple comment like `# Generated by
'django-admin.py startproject', Django 1.7.1`, on the general principle
that it's good practice for automatic code generators to insert a
"generated by" comment. That's clearly a "this file generated by", not a
"this project runs with", so it's less likely to be incorrectly edited
(and doesn't really matter that much if it is). There are definitely times
I would have found this useful, just to get a rough idea of which settings
I ought to check for possible updates needed.
Accepting on that basis.
