Channels is a simpler patch than migrations IMO, but even labelling it as "provisional" doesn't get around the fact we need to prevent bugs, it just saves us in the future if we need to change the API a bit. I have a high confidence level in it - especially as nearly all of the functionality is additional, so there's a very low risk of breaking existing Django projects - but some risk remains. If you want we could take this to the technical board and get it voted on (a vote from which I will abstain, since I'm on the same board), which would seem to be the Right Thing to do given the concerns being raised.
