As per this discussion on the [https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/proposal-
borrow-warning-from-werkzeug-for-runserver/32668 forum], I think adding a
warning to the start of runserver would be valuable to those new to Django
and a healthy reminder to those coming back to Django.
The wording of the warning is:
{{{
WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production
deployment. Use a production WSGI server instead.
For more information on production servers see the documentation:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/howto/deployment/
}}}
Additionally a flag should be added to optionally hide the warning.
`--hide-unsuitable-for-production` was a suggestion.
Finally the following 2 pages of the documentation should have add some
wording to highlight that a deployed project should not use runserver.
* https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/howto/deployment/ (Add a warning
or paragraph that mentions switching)
* https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/howto/deployment/checklist/ (Add a
section to switch away from runserver)
