Comment:
That's what a default is: the value that is assigned to a variable if you
don't set the variable to something else. Adding "if it is not set" in the
doc cited above is redundant and odd-sounding (to me).
Personally I think it is unfortunate that the default value for
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX was chosen to be a value that has such high likelihood
of matching what many would most naturally choose for other site media. I
think it is that choice that is responsible for many having been bit by
this. The doc does attempt to warn (and it does a better job than it used
to, if you read a bit in those Google results you point to you will see
that), but given the unfortunate choice of admin default here I don't
think any amount of doc will entirely cure the problem. (And changing the
default is a battle already waged and lost in another ticket -- if it
didn't manage to get done before 1.0, due to concerns about the change
breaking already-running sites, I don't see it happening now.)
