Leave status responsibility to parent class
Django's `HttpResponse` class checks for the `status` param when it's initialized, if it's `None` it uses the class attribute `status_code` and thanks to that we can do things like: ``` class BadRequest(HttpResponse): status_code = 400 ``` Now, that doesn't work when inheriting from rest-framework's `Response`: ``` class BadRequest(rest_framework.response.Response): status_code = 400 # Bad, it's always ignored ``` Because a default status of `200` is being specified in `rest_framework.response.Response`. I think is more Django-friendly to just leave that status default value to `None` and leave the responsibility of choosing its value to the parent class: `HttpResponse`.
