The docstring for decorator_from_middleware() in docs/ref/utils.txt states
it "assumes middleware that's compatible with the old style of Django 1.9
and earlier", which is misleading. MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES was removed in
Django 2.0, and the function works with any middleware implementing the
standard hook methods. The source code docstring in
django/utils/decorators.py contains no such restriction.

Comment:

I wouldn't call `process_request()`, etc. "standard hook methods" as your
PR proposes because these method don't work unless you use
`django.utils.deprecation.MiddlewareMixin`. There is still a section
regarding [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/middleware
/#upgrading-pre-django-1-10-style-middleware upgrading pre-Django
1.10-style middleware], so IMO, the version reference isn't stale.
