Comment (by russellm):
Having to deploy a URL to support a placeholder sounds like overkill for
me. By the time you've got the moving parts working, it would be easier to
just look up the URL arguments to an external service of your choice.
However:
1) There was lots of talk at DjangoCon about shipping less with Django.
The extreme case of this would be shipping contrib.auth as an external
package; that's a way off being practical, but something like
contrib.webdesign -- a package with a single template tag in it -- would
be a good candidate for pruning. If someone wanted to take on
contrib.webdesign as a third party project, I could get behind a move to
prune it from the Django's tree, at which point, the new maintainer
wouldn't be bound to Django's internal maintenance policies.
2) If we have to manually deploy a view in urls.py, it would be a pain.
But what if there was a way for an app to automatically hook in URLs at a
predictable location? This isn't an isolated use case, either; consider
the case of AJAX widgets -- they need a way to register a data source that
needs to be exposed as a view. There might be a need for a framework
support for 'machine usable, internal URL endpoints'.
