27325	Offer a solution for static file serving suitable for production use	Tim Graham	Aleksej Manaev	"The documentation for the function for serving static files, `django.contrib.staticfiles.views.serve()`, describes it as ""grossly inefficient and probably insecure. This is only intended for local development, and should never be used in production.""
