It's still a little fragile to use function references in reverse() calls. It works in many situations, but not always. This is because the reference you pass in has to be exactly the same reference that the URL Conf file has -- and that's only true if they were imported using the same path (and how the URL Conf file does the import isn't entirely under your control). Best practice here really has to be providing a name to each URL pattern. It's easy to read, easy to debug and works 100% of the time. Function references are useful in URL conf files, but they aren't the friend of reverse() and there's not a lot we can do about that (because that's how Python works).
