Regarding #3, you can already do this with Jinja2 template functions perfectly well. You can also do it with template tags, but it isnt as nice.

100% agree with #5, the diaspora of Django's community, dev process, and lack of a single decision maker when consensus isn't quickly reached, makes it virtually impossible to correct past mistakes.

This is exactly the problem tho. Every Django solution is "install this thing that replaces or adds a component that should be standard". People adopt frameworks to help them stay on track, not because they want to immediately install 5-10 packages just to correct the framework. Not to mention this just creates a big split when every project will be very different.
