The documentation says nothing about that you don't need the app
django.contrib.sessions when using cookie-session-backend. The docs says
only that you need it in some cases, and that you can remove it if you
don't need sessions at all.

Comment (by Tim Graham <timograham@…>):

In [changeset:"3a85aae2eacae836e2a92de77615569883b81932"]:
{{{
#!CommitTicketReference repository=""
revision="3a85aae2eacae836e2a92de77615569883b81932"
Revert "Improve cookie based session backend docs." refs #20418

This reverts commit d9c01da1f8ba3d4e0947fd1d619c8f4a9b013360.

This is poor advice as it breaks the test client login (refs #22934).
We can add a note like this back after refs #22986 is resolved.
