Comment:
Hi Mateusz.
I suspect this change wouldn't merit the code it would take to implement.
Static root is meant to be a empty folder specifically for Django to put
files into. Like the case in #22891 with the S3 bucket, putting files in
there yourself isn't really supported. And I'm sceptical that it's a wide-
enough use-case to be worth supporting.
Rather I'd point you to subclassing the `collectstatic.Command` and
overriding `clear_dir()`. At that point you can implement whatever logic
you need.
I hope that makes sense.
