Hi Devs, I just posted a question on Django users about how to best remove the extra query to auth_messages on every request while still using contrib.auth and contrib.admin in my own code[1]. This led me to the thought that contrib.auth should follow the reusable apps mantra of do only one thing and do it well.
I think decoupling messages from contrib.auth is a worthy step to making auth a little bit more reusable. By doing so, however, Django would need to ship with a contrib.messages (or similar) app which brings with it other thoughts and considerations: * How to make messages more reusable. * Should it have more features? * Should a pre-existing reusable app (like django-notification[2]) be used/considered instead? I almost convinced myself that Groups and Permissions could also stand on their own as separate contrib apps but then thought that as an overall "auth" app, they make sense.
