How come this is a hack?

First time here? Check out the FAQ!

In anon_user.py, there's a comment in process_request() that says

#todo: a hack, for real we need to remove this middleware

How is that middleware a hack?

Thanks in advance

I think it's because we want to run this middleware only for askbot app, and not any other apps that may be deployed on the site.

Now I don't remember why I've added that specific comment.

Django has a doc page explaining how middleware runs.
