Comment (by daniel_martins):
I know what you mean. Although django-flash fulfills its purpose, this
"flash" thing is probably just a subset of a full-fledged notification
system.
Now I ask you: what ''exactly'' should a notification system do? Depending
on the context, a notification system should do different things, at
different levels of abstraction. So unless you define what a notification
system should do, such term as "notification system" is just too general
and creates more confusion than it helps.
I think we are missing the point here. The "flash" thing is part of Rails
since the old days, and it continues to prove its usefulness. It is also
general enough to cover the common cases. I might be biased, but I
personally don't know anybody who dislikes the Rails' "flash" thing or
thinks it's not great the way it is.
And, by the way, I don't like the name "flash" either, but that name
happened to be used by several other web frameworks and became the
standard way to describe such context or scope. So I think we should stick
with that name and make everybody's life easier.
