First of all: thanks for your quality replies.
You're talking a lot about faster website initial development, a goal
elegantly reached by Pinax.
My concern is more about *faster website maintenance and upgrades*.
I've (finally) found a work around by changing my business model, so
it doesn't really matter much to me anymore.
Thanks for explaining to me more complex reasons for committing:
def myview(request):
template_name = '...'
return render_to_response(template_name...)
Instead of what i believe is "just better" in *any* case:
def myview(request, template_name = '...'):
return render_to_response(template_name...)
Of course, we can live peacefully with this disagreement (as i said
I've found a work around).

There are unresolved technical issues with that: there is currently no
template architecture that allow an app to be usable both with and
without Pinax.
So patches are not integrated upstream.

I mean that the patches are integrated in the Pinax tree because they
are rejected upstream. They are rejected upstream because they break
compatibility with non-Pinax projects.

I'm not suggesting anything that would help *that* precisely.
Why not allow the upstream app developers to make their app directly
usable directly both with and without Pinax? The core devs could then
concentrate on other issues.
I know this might complicate app development a little, but wouldn't
that optimize workload distribution?
Thanks again,
Regards, James
