Description

Since 5.0 USE_L10N settings was DEPRECATED and is always True.

Now settings like DATE_FORMAT, DATETIME_FORMAT, DATE_FORMAT_INPUTS etc.. don't work because as per documentation:
"Note that the locale-dictated format has higher precedence and will be applied instead. But now locale-dictated formats are always enabled."
Now locale-dictated formats will always have higher precedence.

It alse breaks editing on all ModelForms which have date and datetime fields because the input is expecting ISO format, but Django forcefully localizes the value attribute to another format.

I've found a solution but overriding the formats.py file using the FORMAT_MODULE_PATH setting. I think at least the documents should make it clear you can do that.
