Comment (by carljm):
I guess the question is whether the potential brokenness of module
reloading is Django-specific, or inherent to module reloading in Python.
If the latter, it's more like we're saying "here's a feature of Python
that has some gotchas, and we think the gotchas are bad enough that the
feature shouldn't be in Python at all, so we're going to make it
impossible to use it with Django."
Module reloading _is_ inherently problematic in Python anytime one module
holds references to anything from another module. But it's perhaps a
little worse with Django, since models are highly likely to hold
references to one another?
If this were hard to implement, I think it'd be an easy choice not to. But
in fact, it's just slightly relaxing a one-liner check.
