This is the best reason I've seen mentioned for moving the email settings to a dictionary. It's true that email settings really are various aspects of configuring one "thing", like DATABASES or CACHES. I'm still not sure it's worth the backwards-compatibility break, though, especially since it is possible for a package like dj-email-url to do what you want with no boilerplate in your settings file, with some code in its AppConfig.ready() that looks for a custom dictionary-formatted setting and sets the actual individual settings based on it.
