Comment:
So 10 years later, I'm going to close this as wontfix.
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/settings/#altering-settings-
at-runtime The docs are clear that this isn't supported]:
> You shouldn’t alter settings in your applications at runtime.
Maybe it's possible, for some settings, but short of a patch actually
showing how we can document this safely and simply, this isn't a foot-gun
we should be in the market of enabling.
