Comment (by mjtamlyn):
The existing patch to #21581 seems to be a major inconvenience to me, and
is certainly unreleasable on 1.6.x. - we can't make projects which run (or
test suites which run) suddenly start breaking. I certainly have projects
where the `STORAGE_BACKEND` is deliberately configured different during
the tests (and sometimes even for local dev) to avoid the possibility of
overwriting the files on S3.
It seems reasonable that `collectstatic` should do the check, but should
do so by asking the `STORAGE_BACKEND` whether it is properly configured
before running the command - thus not leaking the implementation details.
