+1 to replacing earliest() and latest() with order_by('field').first() and
.last(), respectively. I'm not a fan of the implied semantics of 'earliest'
and 'latest' - as if they only worked with time-based fields.

+1, this allows me what I want - to have http method-independent code that
uses self.args, self.kwargs and self.request.

I prefer django-rest-framework's flow through dispatch(). You can override
self.initial() to safely execute method-agnostic logic, but unlike your
example, it doesn't have to return a response object. The response object
is returned by the appropriate self.() as usual.
