23737	RequestContext docs should recommend the render shortcut more clearly	Aymeric Augustin	Tim Graham	"In https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/templates/api/#subclassing-context-requestcontext, there's a note that starts with ""If you’re using Django’s render_to_response() shortcut..."".

It says ""Alternatively, use the render() shortcut..."" which is a rather half-hearted recommendation.

Everyone uses render() all the time and it's just fine. I suggest rewording that note or removing it.
