When you contribute an entire backend that goes into core, it will have to be maintained forevermore. People severely underestimate the need for this, and even Django has suffered a bit from this over its 3 years of life (the signal framework had a period of time like this, although it's getting more attention again). Providing the addition as a 3rd party framework allows the community to vet your work and decide whether 1) it's worth inclusion, and 2) that you have the stamina to maintain it in Django for a long while to come. gav --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
