Hi all. Can I ask for guidance/comments please?
Ticket 31885 <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/31885> Update SMTP Email Backend to use an SSLContext came in for which there's a PR adding `EMAIL_SSL_CAFILE` &co settings <https://github.com/django/django/pull/13305/> to match the existing EMAIL_USE_SSL &co settings. The PR looks fine in itself. I do wonder about the growth on the number of settings here. It looks to my eye to get out of hand. An alternate would be subclass EmailBackend, containing your customisations there. Alternatively we might group setting better than just the `GROUP_` prefix (namespaces being one honking great idea). Alternatively, "no it's fine, don't worry". I mentioned similar about the growth of security headers in a previous thread <https://groups.google.com/g/django-developers/c/WJAbbwJKp30/m/9o6zOEhACAAJ> . Django uses settings. Great! No problem. If they didn't exist, you'd have to invent them. But to what extent do we say that new settings are the way forward vs having people compose their code with configured components? (If I add the words "Technical Board" does that get extra eyes on this? 🙂) Thanks for the input!
