Description

This ticket is related to the first part of this [proposal](​https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/proposal-rename-runserver-command-to-devserver-and-add-a-prodserver-management-command/28030)

I would suggest the following steps:

  1. rename runserver to devserver
  2. recreate runserver that has the devserver class as a base class and add the standard deprecation warning (example in this [PR](​https://github.com/nanorepublica/django-prodserver/pull/17/files))
  3. Update the documentation, which should be a search & replace.

Note: I will raise the second part as a separate ticket since each has pros/cons and could be accepted/rejected independently.

Closing as "wontfix" per discussion on the forum. We have to reach a strong consensus on the forum to change such a long-standing API.
