Replying to [comment:8 freshquiz]:
> Yes, I am currently using this to implement the desired behaviour using
subclasses, but there are two problems with putting the responsibility on
the client:
We're debating different ideas here, let's not mix them.
I didn't suggest to let each project implement its own storage backend. I
originally accepted the ticket and I said it would be useful for Django to
provide the behavior you're describing natively.
I also said that this behavior should be selected with the current
configuration mechanism, the DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE setting, not with an
additional setting.
In my opinion, it would be a net negative for Django to add an ad-hoc
configuration mechanism just for this feature. Irregular configuration
options are hard to discover and easy to misconfigure. I'd rather not have
the feature requested in this ticket than have it controlled with a new
setting. That's my opinion; of course others may disagree :-)
> How do you propose introducing the behaviour natively as a non-default
option, without breaking backwards compability and without a configuration
option?
There's a variety of ways to do this, the easiest being to add a
`BaseStorage` or `SimpleStorage` or `OverwritingStorage` or
`UnsafeStorage` class as a superclass of the current `Storage` class,
which would keep its behavior. I'm happy to leave that part of the design
to the person who writes the patch.
