Generic CreateView/UpdateView doesn't send the kwargs to get_context_data

Description

I noticed that the generic classes CreateView and UpdateView doesn't inject the kwargs into the get_context_data() method.

We can see here ​https://github.com/django/django/blob/stable/1.10.x/django/views/generic/edit.py#L174 that the methods get and post call get_context_data without **kwargs in parameter.

I couldn't find a reason for that.

Quoting Tim on #21964:

pushing kwargs to the context has been called an anti-pattern in #19878 and we're planning to deprecate that behavior in TemplateView.

I have hard time to follow the decision around it. I can't find in the documentation the new way to send additional information to generic view.
