23959	Systems checks run when DEBUG is False	Ian Lewis	nobody	"The System check framework documentation (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/checks/) states the following:

""For performance reasons, the checks are not performed if DEBUG is set to False.""

However, checks seem to be run anyway and I get warning messages even when DEBUG is False. I also could not find any code in Django 1.7.2 that checks the DEBUG flag.

Is this intended behavior? If so then the documentation is incorrect. If not, then the system check framework needs to be modified to check the DEBUG flag."	Bug	closed	Core (System checks)	1.7	Normal	fixed		Russell Keith-Magee	Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
