This is a discussion issue around this code:

https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/blob/master/ext/opentelemetry-ext-django/src/opentelemetry/ext/django/__init__.py#L53

That currently appends middleware, which results in instrumentation for only the user code. This comes with two caveats:

1. latency does not truly represent the most accurate value, as it does not consider time taken by middlewares.
2. some requests will be omitted entirely, due to middleware rejecting the request before the instrumentation middleware can execute.
