Comment (by aaugustin):
You could certainly use a modelform without a request, for example to
validate data pulled from a CSV file before inserting it into the
database.
It's unclear to me why you need to pass a request to a modelform so often.
For me the frontier is materialized by `form = MyModelForm(request.POST)`.
While it's true that (model)forms are usually closer to request handling
than models, I'm not convinced coupling (model)forms to HTTP requests is
justified.
