There is a need to have some kind of URL outside the request cycle (such
as sending emails which need to create a link).
For constructing a correct `MEDIA_URL` / `STATIC_URL` we wanted to use the
script prefix to allow for more dynamic changes (ie allow a user to move
to a subpath without having to change multiple variables). In the request
cycle you can use `get_script_prefix()` for this but outside the request
cycle this isn't currently very achievable (see related tickets #34028
#16734).
There is a current proposal from Florian Apolloner
> I am really starting to lean towards introducing a setting (yes!) called
`BASE_URL` that can be set to `https://mysite.com/subpath`. This would
allow for a) generating URLs outside a request context and b) allow us to
mostly ignore script prefix. We could also use a relative `STATIC_URL` and
append it to `BASE_URL`. This way there would be just one setting that
requires changing and many projects hopefully would make that configurable
via env vars etc.
