Comment:

 The default for `APP_DIR` being `False` means that it will be `False` if
 you don't specify it in your settings.

 However the settings that `startproject` creates sets it to `True` because
 it's almost always is what you want.

 Whether it should be `True` or `False` as default however, is up to
 discussion. But I think the reason for it being `False` is that you want
 sensible defaults that will always work.
