The django documentation currently only mentions supported/recommended
versions for mySQL, not for the other databases.

I think it would be a good idea to have

- documentation of supported versions for all databases (including
shortcomings of the older versions) - similar to what is available for
mySQL today.
- a policy in place on supported versions for all databases - which can
be stricter than the list of currently supported databases. Ie,
features/fixes can normally be added to trunk when they support these
versions of the backends.

The benefits as I see them.

- The ability to use more advanced features - such as subqueries and
views - when hacking on the common code. Also the ability to use more
advanced backend-specific functionality when hacking on the individual
backends
- The ability of replying to bug reports for those old versions with
"that backend is not supported".
- Knowing which versions we would like to run tests against.
