Django-admin produces a default settings file that contains the most common user-specified settings. There are _many_ other settings, all with reasonable default values, that are documented and available for the user to override if required.

As for the change itself - I just don't see why this is required. As you point out, what you are trying to achieve (derive context variables from the request) can be done by defining a context processor. What you are proposing would complicate the convenience mechanism of allowing simple callables in extra_context, in the name of duplicating functionality that is already possible by defining a context processor.
