Thanks for your message. We are aware that this functionality is slated to
be removed.
It is not clear to me that the requirements for such functionality are
uniform across different applications. It is my recommendation, at least,
that messages for users when the request object is not in scope are best
implemented in a 3rd party app. If needed, integration with the
contrib.messages framework can be accomplished by implementing a custom
storage, similar to the following:
http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/contrib/messages/storage/user_messages.py
Cheers,
Tobias
