Comment (by Eugene Prikazchikov):
OK, that sounds good.
As for:
> a deprecation here stops us adopting the new behaviour.
It is not quite true. In the patch that I linked in the ticket new
behavior is preserved - DeleteView still inherits from `FormMixin` and
`form_valid` is still executed. All checks passed - so behavior has not
changed. To prevent existing Delete views overriding `delete` method from
breaking, in this patch `form_valid()` calls `delete()`. If we want to add
deprecation warning we could extend the patch. In `DeletionMixin.delete`
we could emit a warning if HTTP method is "POST". Here:

{{{
if request.method == "POST":
# we arrived here from .form_valid(), let's emit warning
}}}
Anyway, if you believe that updating release notes is enough - I am fine
with that.
