Recommended against default_app_config. 

Most likely this is a losing fight -- people seem to love this small
convention -- but at least the reasons for avoiding it will be
documented.

@ -57,6 +57,14 @@ subclass for that application.
If there is no ``default_app_config``, Django uses the base
:class:`~django.apps.AppConfig` class.
``default_app_config`` allows applications that predate Django 1.7 such as
``django.contrib.admin`` to opt-in to :class:`~django.apps.AppConfig` features
without requiring users to update their :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS`.
New applications should avoid ``default_app_config``. Instead they should
require the dotted path to the appropriate :class:`~django.apps.AppConfig`
subclass to be configured explicitly in :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS`.
