Personally, I'm not deploying multiple instances of any application in
a project, but I can see that it is the sort of thing that people
might want to do.
I can't say I have any particular problem with the patch from [6391].
It looks like a clean refactor to me, and like you said, there isn't
much point in making multiple deployments of the trunk admin app. On
top of that, if you do need to deploy multiple instances for some
wierd reason, you could always override the base templates to restore
the old template structure.
However, I would probably err on the side of caution and mention the
potential problem on the backwards incompatibilities wiki page.
This does open a bigger can of worms, though. There is a bit of an
inherent incompatibility between deploying multiple instances of
generic apps and the use of {% url %} in templates. This problem
warrants some discussion before we back ourselves into a corner by
openly advocating multiple deployment of apps like newforms-admin.
My initial reaction to the problem was to think about adding an 'app
prefix' when you deploy an app, much like a form prefix, that is
injected into the template context to affect the resolution of {% url
%} tags. However, thinking about the implementation and consequences
of such a change this early on a Friday morning is making my brain
hurt.
