Comment (by Natalia Bidart):
I'm not sure if it's too late to propose to "unaccept" this ticket. I have
read the use case, and while there is a description for a use case, that
use case feels, to me, insufficient to make a strong argument to add this
change of behavior in the django codebase.
My rationale is that failing to resolve an URL in a view is, indeed,
semantically an "url not found" (404) result. At least in my experience, I
can think of a few reasons for a failed resolve in a view such as:
* there is a spelling error in the url name or args (in which case the
unit tests should caught this)
* there is a dynamic component in the url name/params that at the time
of the execution evaluates to something that does not exist (this still
feels like a 404 and not a 500)
* something else I'm missing?
I don't think the above justify the complexity that seems to be necessary
to solve this (following [https://github.com/django/django/pull/17007 PR
17007]).
