Comment (by karsten):

 There are a few issues with that commit:
  - We cannot comment out settings in `weather/config/config.py` until we
 actually moved to Onionoo.  What if somebody takes this branch and tries
 to deploy Weather?  It won't work at all.
  - Rather than commenting out code or settings, we should simply remove
 them.  That's for the future, though, when we can actually get rid of
 them.
  - I'm unclear why you changed the path to the database.  That's going to
 break the existing deployment whenever somebody does `git pull`.  We
 shouldn't do that.  We should rather stick to the existing directory
 layout with `/../var/` even though it's not pretty.
  - Maybe we should also write emails somewhere to `/../var/`?  It seems
 that Weather currently doesn't write anything to the cloned directory
 root, but only to `/../var/`.  If that is the case, let's not clutter up
 `/.`.

 So, I guess a commit that only adds the `EMAIL_BACKEND` and
 `EMAIL_FILE_PATH` lines to `settings.py` but with the right directory to
 write emails to would be fine to merge.
