Comment (by Carlton Gibson):
The new PR seems ''OK™'' — for
[https://docs.python.org/3.11/library/re.html#index-34 strings `\w`] is
equivalent to `[a-zA-Z0-9_]` with ASCII, and the unicode examples then
pass.
I worry slightly about bringing in a host of lookalike address
vulnerabilities. 🤔
I think this needs a discussion to decide the way forward.
1. I'm not convinced this is really a distinct issue to #26423.
2. [The https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-
developers/ASBJ0ge2KYo/discussion mailing list discussion] was essentially
unanimous to radically simplify here (rather than continue to tweak).
Florian's comment:21 more or less sums it up:
> ...propose to change the current email validator to just check if "@" is
in the address and be done with it.
We've said similar with URLValidator a number of times.
I'm not sure we shouldn't (again) mark this as a duplicate of #26423, re-
purpose that to simplify the validation, make sure ''How to customise
validation'' shows the way forward clearly, and then close everything else
in this area as `wontfix`. 🤔
