Comment:
I've thought about this more, and I don't think its appropriate.
Unlike CSS and styling, favicons are all about site identity. Adding a
favicon for the admin would be asserting brand identity of one of the
tools used to make the website, or one section of the website, which
doesn't seem appropriate for any web development tool. I wouldn't expect a
component provided by any other web framework to do this. I don't even
like it when an out-of-the-box solution like !WordPress provides its own
favicon (I don't know if they do any more). When you see those default
favicons on websites, they look unprofessional - I only expect to see the
!WordPress favicon if I'm on wordpress.com.
I don't know what other core devs think, none has contributed so far. I'm
going to close as wontfix, but please bring it up on django-devs if you'd
like other opinions.
