29223	Dummy database backend's is_usable() method should return False	Wagner Macedo	nobody	"As far as I understood, the dummy database backend in `django.db.backends.dummy` is used when we set an empty dictionary in `DATABASES` setting, depicting a not usable database.

So, maybe it's a mistake this backend returns (always) that is usable:

{{{
    def is_usable(self):
        return True
}}}
