25835	remove backwards-compatibility alias `Adaptor`	Sergey Fedoseev	Sergey Fedoseev	"All spatial operations classes have `Adaptor` class attribute and comments say that it backwards-compatibility alias for `Adapter`. This attribute was added to fix #13315.

It seems however that it doesn't provide any backwards-compatibility. Quoting [https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/13315#comment:3 comment] from mentioned ticket:
> It's a matter of debate to whether this is a backwards-incompatible change -- the root cause of the issue is that `SpatialBackend` (and `SpatialBackend.Adaptor`) no longer exists due to multiple-database support, however, it was never documented to begin with.
>
> I did indeed rename the `Adaptor` objects to the more common spelling of `Adapter`; providing aliases is a possibility -- however, I also changed the root namespace to `django.contrib.gis.db.backends` (the `s` was added), thus even the aliases wouldn't even be truly backwards-compatible.

As could be seen from comments of that ticket it was proposed to add this alias to deprecation timeline, but for some reason this wasn't done."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	GIS	dev	Normal	fixed			Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
