With the relatively fast moving nature of django, I'm wondering if any django
package in EPEL should be unversioned. It seems like we should have
python-djangoXX instead. Although I have no idea how easy it is to implement
that.
Also, while Matthias has issued an update recently for 1.6 in EPEL7, it looks
like its days are numbered as upstream has dropped it as well:
https://www.djangoproject.com/download/
Hopefully Matthias will chime in with his thoughts.
