Comment (by Jacob Walls):
No worries Adam, I didn't think you were questioning me at all. I
appreciate you thinking it through with me! We'll hear from others soon,
as it's still the weekend in my timezone.
> They'd be opting into setting available_apps on their test class, so we
can expect them to do it correctly.
I agree with that. I guess I'm taking the opportunity to wonder about what
is correct: if `LiveServerTestCase` is what creates the dependency on
`contrib.auth` purely by instantiating `WSGIHandler()`, should we expect
that to leak to the subclasses, meaning they have to either not use the
`available_apps` attribute ''or'' discover for themselves this tricky edge
case and guard against it for the first time in 5.2? Again, not
necessarily a regression/release blocker given that it's a private API,
just polling for views since we at least have the ''option'' of preventing
an unintentional behavior change here.
