Bug Description

There's a bug (https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/17021) in Django's generic views that won't be fixed because function-based generic views are deprecated, so we should change that view to no longer use them, avoiding the nasty hack we need now.

Alternatively, we could update to a version of Django that provides class based generic views, as those are supposed to not be affected by that bug.

Can you explain what the nasty hack is? I don't think we're experiencing this problem with our deployment of Offspring.

I think migrating to Django 1.3 to fix this problem is quite a leap, though we have talked about the need to move to a newer version of Django for more general reasons. Is there something tactical we can do here in the interim?

It no longer affects trunk as it was part of the changes that introduced private projects, which have been reverted
