Description

django.views.defaults.permission_denied will respond <h1>403 Forbidden</h1> if no 403.html template is found. This behavior was introduced to provide backwards compatibility. Generally speaking, it is a reasonable fallback.

I believe that page_not_found and server_error could benefit from a similar fallback.

That would prevent 404s from turning into 500s when there's no 404.html template. I know we want to encourage custom error pages, but in case a developer skips them, a bare <h1>404 Not Found</h1> is less damaging than a 500 with a backtrace or no content at all.
