.. admonition:: File sizes and SI units
Strictly speaking, ``filesizeformat`` does not conform to the International
System of Units which recommends using KiB, MiB, GiB, etc. when byte sizes
are calculated in powers of 1024 (which is the case here). Instead, Django
uses traditional unit names (KB, MB, GB, etc.) corresponding to names that
are more commonly used.
