Comment (by adelton):
If you say `django.contrib.auth.views` is not supposed to work out of box
with `RemoteUserMiddleware`, I'll certainly respect that.
However, similar to our discussion in
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25029, if we actually want to make
`RemoteUserMiddleware` / `PersistentRemoteUserMiddleware` more useful and
more used, it'd be nice if `django.contrib.auth.views.login` it could
handle any `django.contrib.auth.middleware` that the admin setting up the
project decides to configure. The purpose of middlewares as I understand
it is to be easily pluggable from admin's point of view -- just add them
to `MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES` list and be done with it.
Yes, the admin certainly can write their own login view. But shouldn't we
strive to make the out-of-box experience as easy as possible, making
various bits work reasonably for various setups that are shipped with
Django. Of course, situation is different with third-party software but
`RemoteUserMiddleware` has been in the project since 2009.
