Is the bottom section of settings.py still relevant? (running frontend and backend in one process)

[BenSturmfels]

On line 385 of src/project/settings.py there's a section that looks as though it's used to run both the frontend and backend from within then same Django process. Is this something you currently do and/or recommend?

I'm asking to see if I should remove this section more so than because I'm looking to run both in the same process. Similarly there's references to REST_FRAMEWORK further up in settings.py and also in local_settings.py.template.
