Description

In every Django project I've seen, whenever a new app is created, tests.py is deleted and is replaced with a tests directory containing initially an `init.py.

I propose instead of creating a tests.py on app creation, create that which is described above.

I'd be happy to take this ticket myself if it's approved.

I have a completely different experience. I've seen/created many apps without a tests directory. I think that the current shape of the default app is the right consensus and creating a tests directory by users is not a big burden (if needed).

Please first start a discussion on the DevelopersMailingList, where you'll reach a wider audience and see what other think, and follow the triaging guidelines with regards to wontfix tickets.
