    initial v1  
    1 Thanks Mykhailo and Sarah for the illuminating reviews. After checking the history, this is a regression in Django 5.2 (50f89ae850f6b4e35819fe725a08c7e579bfd099) that was not caught in time for a backport. RemoteUserMiddleware's default `REMOTE_USER` value didn't work before that commit, but in fixing the default case, we broke (or "changed the semantic") of the custom header case.

    33It was reported in time (#36300), but only as a "hunch", so it was closed as `needsinfo`. I'll reopen and aim to fix in Django 6.1 without a deprecation or a backport, but with a release note.
