Ask HN: How did Django land on such abomination of MVC naming scheme?

I am not satisfied with their official explanation at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/faq/general/#django-appears-to-be-a-mvc-framework-but-you-call-the-controller-the-view-and-the-view-the-template-how-come-you-don-t-use-the-standard-names

Was there a legacy reason why they are trapped with MTV naming scheme?
