14556	Recommend to avoid FlatpageFallbackMiddleware unless absolutely required	Patryk Zawadzki	nobody	"In most cases you don't need conflicting routing rules in {{{urls.py}}} so it's easier to just {{{include('django.contrib.flatpages.urls')}}}. As a free bonus you get to avoid all kinds of problems with other middleware, contextprocessors and the CSRF framework.

I can see how the middleware is useful if for some reason you have to put the flat pages in the same URL prefix another application uses but it's a workaround that breaks the documented routing behavior. I for one don't expect apps to provide their own url routing middleware instead of {{{urls.py}}} and I can't see how flatpages is an exception here."
