I agree with the downside. I wanted to have an option of always using local_settings.py (I use it for development to add some extra installed apps and middleware for development). How about we use this approach:

from default_settings import *
try:
    from local_settings import *
except ImportError:
    from development_settings import *

So there would be no CONFIGURED anymore and you could still use local_settings like I do (although you'd need to import development_settings inside your local settings for that).
