Description
The Django docs currently use kB
, MB
, etc. despite the fact that the numbers are computed to the power of 1024 (not 1000). I propose to change the units in the docs to KiB
, MiB
, etc.

100% agree we should use the right unit for the values.
I notice there's a note on https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/templates/builtins/#filesizeformat that it, too, gets this wrong. Should it, perhaps, take an optional argument to switch modes?
