25385	Allow importing django.views.generic.View from django.views.View	jambonrose	Asif Saifuddin Auvi	"Whenever I talk about class-based views and how their concept is separate from generic views (typically in a class setting), the question I am asked is invariably: if they are different, why do we import `View` from `django.views.generic`?

To help developers better avoid confusion and better separate the concepts, I would like to change the import of the `View` class. Ideally:

    from django.views import View

I would furthermore like to move `View` from the generic directory into it's own module."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Generic views	dev	Normal	fixed			Accepted	1	0	0	0	1	0
