Comment:
Hi Joseph. Thanks for the additional details.
> If OscarConfig.default is set to False, this attribute gets inherited by
its BasketConfig subclass, and Django finds no default AppConfig subclass,
and ends up using its default AppConfig class. This would require us to
switch to specifying the app in INSTALLED_APPS using only
oscar.apps.basket.apps.BasketConfig. Or for projects using Oscar to
subclass BasketConfig just to set BasketConfig.default to True.
This is the right approach in your case, where you have multiple AppConfig
classes in play. Set `default = False` on the superclass and have users
config the explicit app config they want, or set `default = True` on the
one subclass they need.
It's worth reviewing the discussion on the
[https://github.com/django/django/pull/12310 original PR] where this kind
of thing was discussed.
If you wish to propose a change it would need to go via the
DevelopersMailingList to seek consensus there.
