I've been using Channels semi-seriously for 2-3 months now, and in my opinion it easily clears the bar for inclusion. The design is right, it's stable in production and under load, and has no show-stopping bugs I've been able to find. Quite bluntly, it's probably somewhat better than our average alpha-quality new feature. My only real concern was around performance regressions, but now that the WSGI "mode" hits no new code paths, that's no longer a concern.
