Yes, but I wasn't talking about the admonitions against runserver -- I was talking about the admonitions against the staticfiles app. I propose that staticfiles under gunicorn is a reasonable choice. Further, if fronted by a inbound proxy cache, it could perhaps even be the reference/recommended setup for high-volume production sites, rather than the current doctrine that such sites should have some extra static-collect/export to a helper server.
