I don't get your point. I was neither rude, nor was my comment meant to be
offensive. I am also reporting bugs in my free time, hoping to help other
users who might stumble upon the same issue. Sorry if you got me wrong
there.

> So I think this ticket should be fixed the same way we'd have fixed it
if we'd noticed it before the release of 1.8: by making a note of the
issue in the backwards-incompatible changes section of the 1.8 release
notes, and perhaps also clarifying the RequestContext docs to note that
values from context processors are only available in a RequestContext once
it has been bound to a template (which Django does automatically when you
render a template using a RequestContext).
To me this entire issue is actually not a biggie. Some third-party apps I
am using rely on that behavior, but I can fix that. So I'd agree with you
here that adding it to the list of backwards-incompatible changes and
maybe a small note in the docs would probably be sufficient.
