Permanent redirects are cached on the browser, so the ramifications of accidentally making a permanent redirect away from an URL you are currently using or intend to use in the future are fairly serious. On the flip side, using a non-permanent redirect when you meant to use a permanent one has little real impact outside of taking slightly more time to redirect. Having RedirectView default the permanent argument to False wouldn't actually break existing sites, since it will still redirect, so there's no serious backwards compatibility issues."
