Previously, in the days of the branch, there was a time when there was no convention and people all relied on importing the admin module in their __init__.py which worked well for many, but others had really bad failures. One thing to keep in mind that really isn't described as well as it could in the docs is that admin.autodiscover() is really there for convenience. Most of the time you will only ever need to register your models with the default AdminSite instance which is located at django.contrib.admin.site. However, if you need to have more than one admin site or would like to modify which models are displayed on a single admin then you will likely be creating your own AdminSite class and registering models to that instead of the default. In which case the admin.autodiscover() is not needed and app admin.py module merely become a place for storing ModelAdmin classes and if its a reusable app you would also keep around register calls for the default AdminSite instance for the user common case.
