Comment:
The issue is that `collectstatic` doesn't have any knowledge of which app
a static file was collected from. It only looks at a file's modification
time when determining whether to recopy a file. Unless there's an
alternate proposal, I'd suggest to add a documentation warning about this
and recommend the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#django-
admin-option---clear collectstatic --clear] option in this case.
