This is imo the best argument in this thread and convinces me a little bit 
:D But I still think we should accompany this with documentation that 
explains why GET-powered forms do not show up in form_data. What irks me a 
little bit is that request.GET/POST nicely stood out in code -- ie I could 
find user input handling on a first glance.

As for disruption, can we just alias them for now and drop GET/POST from 
the docs and not immediately start with warnings?

Cheers,
Florian
