6603	QuerySet in extra_context should be handled automatically	Waldemar Kornewald	nobody	"f I pass an 'extra_context' parameter to a generic view I can't use a
QuerySet because they'd only be evaluated once (at program start), so
the only option is to pass a callable. Unfortunately, this solution
increases code size and mental burden on the developer who can pass a
QuerySet to 'queryset', but not within 'extra_context', so it's even
inconsistent.

I'd like to suggest that if a QuerySet is passed to 'extra_context' it
should be handled exactly like the 'queryset' parameter: call
value._clone(). I've attached a patch that you might use as a starting
point. It even reduces the generic views code size by 34 lines, so I
hope that alone is convincing enough. ;) (though, I'm not sure if the
solution is OK)"		closed	Generic views	dev		fixed			Design decision needed	1	1	1	1	0	0
