Description

The deprecation of this setting went in for 1.4 straight as a DeprecationWarning, not PendingDeprecation.

https://github.com/django/django/commit/38a2444277a84eb6b74425f0e324d1dceb7d2ef1

However an accelerated timeline wasn't mentioned in the release notes, and it was not added to the deprecation timeline.

Should we pull it in 1.5 - or give it till 1.6? Either way - it needs to be added to the deprecation timeline.

Given that it was not in the timeline - I feel we should probably leave it in till 1.6?

The admin is a contrib app which doesn't completely adhere to the deprecation policy.

Also, the ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX setting was a crux and had a better alternative with STATIC_URL + /admin/ that was introduced before. The "accelerated deprecation" thing you mention is a new policy that wasn't around when I removed the setting, so it wasn't clearly mentioned as that in the release notes. Feel free to add it if you are so inclined.

But for the love of god, remove it in 1.5, it was a stupid setting.
