Yes, that's always the fall back, isn't it? I'll look at Jinja, as I didn't realize there was such a fork. Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks this way.
I'm concerned with how well a solution like this tracks the Django release. However, simply dodging the question doesn't address the original point: why does Django adhere to such a nannyish philosophy, and how do you solve the problem I presented *within Django* in a reasonable way?
