Ticket https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/19447 was resolved as wont fix.

Although this PR is insufficient for our needs (we would also need 
localized abbreviations), it would certainly be more useful than the 
nothing that exists now.

How does the Django team know how many developers would use a feature like 
this when said developers never get a chance to use it? Django includes a 
lot of inane features that many fewer developers would use compared to 
this. The documentation for all of Django is already pretty bad (it's 
poorly organized, poorly hyperlinked, uses bad examples, etc, regardless of 
what others say); blocking a PR from acceptance because the documentation 
doesn't measure up to the bar set in practice is illogical.

Practically every site that prints numbers to the screen (read: all sites) 
could benefit from features like this. If the work is incomplete, let 
someone take over or explain what else needs to be implemented before 
acceptance is gained. Closing it as won't fix is irrational and discourages 
the community (and adoption of the framework).
