I asked myself why is there a PluginMeta needed? Can't I add those data
attributes directly to AppConfig?
So my question on you all is: Is it a good idea to merge those data
deeply with tha AppConfig object? I mean, as a plugin in my sense is
more or less the same as an app, it won't matter. But deeply inside, I
feel that there is something wrong done. Separate concerns should not me
mixed - and I don't know what you want to implement in Django's future
into AppConfig. Maybe there could be conflicts.
Another way would be implementing the methods too into the PluginMeta
object.
May I ask for your opinions here?
I would likely keep this interface isolated from the app config, to
prevent future name clashes.
And a second question: The DJango docs say, that it's not recommended to
use "default_app_config". But in each and every example, even in the
tutorials and the Django boilerplate code of "./manage.py startproject
foo" are NO Appconfigs addressed in INSTALLED_APPS. Nobody does this, right?
How "obligate" is this recommendation, when noone uses it? Should this
be kept?
I think it's most likely there as a legacy state, in order to reduce the
burden of upgrading.
I do agree it would be better if we abide by our own recommendations.
