No worries at all. The time was helpful to figure out some of the other
design issues around the feature (ones that only became apparent thanks to
your earlier iterations on the PR!).
Natalia and I are trying to collect the design decisions in the form of a
DEP: https://github.com/medmunds/deps/blob/email-providers/draft/email-
providers.md and discussion at https://github.com/django/deps/pull/105.
I tried to incorporate everything you and I learned from the PR, as well
as Natalia's request in comment:22 that we replace
`mail.get_connection(provider="notifications")` with
`mail.providers["notifications"]`. We're also proposing deprecating
`get_connection()` and the `connection` argument in general (which I think
you had suggested in an early PR comment).
> … If we can agree to just raise an exception, if both the old and new
configuration options are used together, then this ticket should be
fixable easily. …
I think we're all in agreement! Users can pick old configuration, or new
configuration, but not both at the same time. I've tried to document the
specific disallowed cases in the DEP: look for the boldface callouts under
[https://github.com/medmunds/deps/blob/email-providers/draft/email-
providers.md#deprecated-email-settings Deprecated email settings].
(Many of my comments in the PR are now outdated, superseded by decisions
in the DEP.)
