Comment:
My concern with this idea is that there is nothing enforcing this to be up
to date, whereas that is more the case with requirements.txt. That would
make it very unreliable in practice to indicate which version this project
is supposed to run with. It may be used indicate which Django version's
project template was used to initially create the project, but I'm not
sure what the added value would be. Also, that would be unreliable because
people may assume that should match the running version, and simply update
it with each upgrade.
In other words: as far as I can see there is little added value due to the
low reliability. The recommended way to ensure you are running a
particular version is and has been requirements.txt. But perhaps there's
something I'm overlooking :)
