This summarizes my feelings about merging channels. It feels a bit experimental to me, and I'm not yet convinced that I'd choose to use it myself (but I'd be willing to try it out). As long as it's marked as provisional for now and we maintain straight WSGI as an option, so nobody's forced into it, we can maybe afford to experiment and learn from it. ISTM that the strongest argument in favor is that I think it _is_ significantly easier for a casual user to build and deploy their first websockets app using Channels than using any other currently-available approach with Django. Both channels and Django+whatever-async-server require managing multiple servers, but channels makes a lot of decisions for you and makes it really easy to keep all your code together. And (as long as we still support plain WSGI) it doesn't remove the flexibility for more advanced users who prefer different tradeoffs to still choose other approaches. There's a lot to be said for that combination of "accessible for the new user, still flexible for the advanced user", IMO.
