What I'm wondering about those class based *generic* views is whether
that name is good:

- Pre-django-1.3 generic views aren't used that much. Most views are
custom made.

- So class based *generic* views also sound like they're for generic
views, not for your own custom views.

The djangoproject.com pages about class based views also only talk about
generic views, even though they're perfectly usable for your own custom
views.

Am I wrong in thinking that the word "generic" is just bad PR (or
unclear documentation)?
