Comment:

Thank you for the suggestion. I agree this information is useful and
shouldn't be hidden in the 4.1 release notes.

I would suggest something be added to the bottom of the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.2/topics/auth/default/#django.contrib.auth.views.LogoutView
LogoutView] docs (similar to how the LoginView docs has an example at the
bottom). I also think that folks find this confusing came up in a
[https://youtu.be/pHe1jfd_En8?feature=shared&t=571 conference talk].

I don't think updating the 4.1 release notes adds too much value as this
is no longer a supported release and we keep old release notes quite
static
