Comment (by russellm):
The reason for this "feature" is historical; if you look at the old-style
function based generic views, adding the kwargs to the template context
was something that the direct_to_template generic view did. The old
behavior was implemented to make it easy to port old views to the new
structures.
On a broader project level -- If something is clearly a bug, we fix it. If
this means breaking backwards compatibility, then we need to weigh the
impact of the bug against the impact of making the change without a
deprecation cycle. If there really is no way to fix a bug without
introducing a backwards incompatibility, then we'll break backwards
compatibility.
That said -- I'm not completely clear on what the 'bug' is considered to
be here. Is it that get_context_data() is being passed the wrong arguments
in a TemplateView, or that get_context_data() on a TemplateView is
constructing the wrong context data? What exactly is the bug, and what is
the consequences of that bug?
