I don't see it as something we as a project need to convince people of. I see it as a statement of intent. Django doesn't need to convince anyone, it just needs to say "this is happening" (and if I had my way in this conversation, publicly, more than once and in union with other projects...). The convincing should be left to those using it. Maybe it would have been better to not have an officially signed list. But instead just a curated list of projects which have announced that they won't support 2.7 at some date. Would have been easier and less political.
