I have recently created a related issue on github but didn't receive any 
response (https://github.com/stephenmcd/mezzanine/issues/1928). Basically 
Mezzanine compatibility with Django 2 is limited to 2.0 which is no longer 
supported. Moreover that compatibility is not fully tested.

I need to upgrade a legacy site which is based on Mezzanine 3.4.1 and 
Django 1.8. Ideally we would like to upgrade to Django 2.2 because it's an 
LTS version and we could stay on that until April 2022.

There are a few options but I'm lacking information to make a good decision:

   1. wait until Mezzanine officially supports Django 2.2, but I have no 
   idea when or if that will happen. It seems to me, that at the current pace 
   it won't happen this year. (It's not a negative judgement, I'm very 
   grateful for being able to use a free and mature CMS for many years on so 
   many site!). Do you have any roadmap or even some approximate schedule?
   2. fork Mezzanine and upgrade things myself but with a prioritisation 
   based on the need of my site. Hopefully I'd be able to contribute back to 
   the main repo. However I have no idea how much work would be involved? Is 
   it a 2 day job or a 2 week job? Do you have any sense of how much work 
   would is left, which Mezzanine components need to be worked on for 2.2 
   compatibility?
   3. automate the migration of the content to another CMS, that would be 
   more sustainable but would also require quite a lot of development. This is 
   my least favourite option (because I can't think of a better Django-CMS for 
   my particular needs) but at least I can accurately assess the development 
   effort and time-frame.

Thanks in advance for any piece of information that could help me and my 
team better evaluate the situation.
