Each Django loaders has a boolean attribute of "is_usable". It seems the
only use for this comes from the egg loader when setuptools isn't
installed. If "is_usable" is false, a warning is raised in
engine.find_template_loader, but otherwise the loader is silently ignored
for template loading.
It seems like that is the wrong behavior. I think the loaders should fail
loudly if they're missing configuration. Otherwise, it's unclear why
they're not used to find templates. I ran into this when writing a sample
loader and forgetting to specify "is_usable" as True on it.
Unless there's a use case for silently ignoring template loaders, I think
we should deprecate this behavior.
