Comment (by aaugustin):
I had the same initial reaction to this ticket as Tim.
In addition, this would change the interpretation of URLs containing a
`.`, a `+`, or any other character that has a special meaning in regex. I
don't have a good idea to preserve backwards compatibility there.
There's also the question of how we would implement this efficiently. Not
all supported databases can anwser "give me the list of rows where field
`old_path` is a regex matching this value.
I think a custom middleware (if you have many patterns) — perhaps a
modified version of `RedirectFallbackMiddleware` — or a `RedirectView` (if
you have a handful of patterns) is the way to go.
