New description:
ok just because I got my ass reemed by a bunch of overly sensitive people
in my opinion,
here is a better version of my point.
we have a DRY principle with Django.
it saves us time
so the 1.7 thingy cost me some time. not that big of a deal. but
evidently complaining to volunteers is.
So whatever.. take it how you will. I would certainly be happy to
contribute to documentation but mostly my experience with these opensource
projects is most of the people that run them think they are GODS of
computer world and are usually rude in the first place and would not give
me the time of day to contribute anyways.
I love Django. I love Open Source. I love all the people that contribute
to this stuff. Honestly Do.
So here is the way I found to do this a little easier.
