Comment (by NicoEchaniz):
I do not agree with your assessment on this matter. Documenting this
information would be very useful for anyone working on multi-tenancy for
django projects. There are in fact certain scenarios where multi-tenancy
is a valid - if not the only - deployment option.
For reference, I'll add a link to the
[http://www.revsys.com/officehours/2010/nov/05/#question5 full log of the
chat session] that inspired the creation of this ticket.
Documentation should state very clearly that runtime-modification of
settings is something you should avoid unless you fully understand the
consecuences.
If there were consensus on the proper way to handle the threading issue, I
think it should be documented too, but an enfatic warning would suffice
for the time being to discourage people from fiddling with this lightly.
I'd also like to add that this is just a documentation proposal on current
existing features and as such I don't see how this could be of any harm
unless it's done carelessly, which I find hard to expect knowing the
general quality of django documentation.
