Comment:
I believe the [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/releases/1.4.4/#host-
header-poisoning Django 1.4.4 release notes] gives more context.
I think you're suggesting that Django should recommend or imply having
`ALLOWED_HOSTS` as `["*"]` is safe.
You should discuss this on the
[https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/internals/5 Django forum] and state why
this should be updated/allowed. As this relates to security, we need very
strong consensus and evidence that this is safe before we can make an
update. The security team may also want to review such an update. During
this discussion you might conclude to add some doc clarifications.
I am closing this request for now but if after a discussion you have a
concrete proposal, please reopen the ticket for consideration.
