New description:
In the past Django has refused to add more HttpResponse subclasses to
support all the codes listed in the HTTP RFC, e.g. in #9943,
HttpResponseNoContent in #3362, etc.
[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/django-
developers/gnfX1m5jfm8/lMAucX_oBAAJ A recent discussion] on the django-
developers mailing list came to the consensus that adding them would be a
win. It also pointed out [https://django-
extras.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ref/http-response.html existing
implementations in django-extras].
They should be added to Django core.

Comment:
As I mentioned on the mailing list, I don't think we should add subclasses
if they don't provide any functionality besides a different status code.
For that, we could document this pattern:
{{{
from http import HTTPStatus
HttpResponse(status=HTTPStatus.NO_CONTENT)
}}}
If a response subclass provides some other additional functionality, I'm
open to adding it.
