Comment (by cjerdonek):
Note that there is a distinction between //passing// `**kwargs` to
`get_context_data()` and having `get_context_data()` //return//
`**kwargs`.
Personally, I would favor `TemplateView` continuing to pass `**kwargs` to
`get_context_data()` even if its return value is changed by default not to
include `kwargs`. This would keep overriding `get_context_data()` simple
because you can simply access `**kwargs` in the method without having to
decide between `**kwargs` and `self.kwargs`.
For consistency, I would like it if all generic views passed the full
view's keyword arguments to `get_context_data()`. Some classes like
`ProcessFormView` restrict what is passed to `get_context_data()`, which
was surprising to me because then `**kwargs` for the method differs from
`self.kwargs`. I just opened #21964 which is about this issue.
