Comment:
> The documentation could also mention that adding an explicit url
pattern for static and running python manage.py runserver --nostatic can
be used as a workaround.
The conclusion from #15199 was that having MEDIA_URL inside STATIC_URL
(MEDIA_ROOT inside STATIC_ROOT?) is a pattern that we want to avoid, so I
don't think documenting a workaround is consistent with that.
Rather, strengthening the system check seems reasonable. (The patch checks
media is not inside static. Is it worth doing the opposite too?)
The MEDIA_ROOT docs already say:
> MEDIA_ROOT and STATIC_ROOT must have different values. ...
With the extra check this ''may'' be enough (I've always read it that way)
but if an alternative phrasing that says "not inside each other too" that
is both short and precise can be found then maybe we can update that as
well.
