This is related to the last two comments on #17734. Specifically, if an
application decides to return an explicit 404, there is no way to prevent
the LocaleMiddleware from overriding this and trying the language
redirect.
In those comments, it was about catch-all URL patterns. I'm running into
something related, but slightly different -- we [serve 404's for the `/`
endpoint if the subdomain isn't
valid](https://github.com/zulip/zulip/blob/master/zerver/middleware.py#L434),
which the LocaleMiddleware unhelpfully redirects to (e.g.) `/en/` which
isn't any less of a 404.
Would folks be amenable to a patch which disabled the auto-404-redirect
functionality in the middleware with a flag of some sort?
