8713	Django core depends on django.contrib	Piotr Lewandowski <django@…>	nobody	"I believe that it should be possible to strip `django/contrib` directory and still have a functional Django. However, currently there are some imports from `django.contrib` present in non-contrib part of Django. It's contrary to the [http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/misc/design-philosophies/#id1 loose-coupling idea] and [http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/#the-django-contrib-add-ons description of contrib package] (a variety of extra, '''optional''' tools).
