I'd personally rather have it left as-is, because it means that people who want to use authentication from the start, or who decide to switch and start using it later, don't have to rewrite any views. Also, there's more stuff in RequestContext than just the user, some of which is useful for other purposes; in this case I think Django should default to using the context that provides the most utility. -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
