Daniele, here's my try at being more concrete than "It seems reasonable" and "decent ledge of overlap". Let me know if you meant something different!
"Django 2.0 will be the last version of Django to support Python 3.4. This allows those running older operating systems with Python 3.4 (such as Ubuntu 14.04 and CentOS 6) to use the latest version of Django for an additional eight months. If you don't intend to upgrade to a system with Python 3.5 or later by the end of security updates for Django 2.0 in April 2019, stick with Django 1.11 LTS which is supported until April 2020." I'd rather not allow Python 3.4 users to strand themselves on Django 2.0 when sticking with 1.11 would provide longer security support (lesson learned from Python 2.6 users stranded on Django 1.6), but hopefully documenting this danger will help prevent that this time around.
