If upgrading looks like a lot of work today, it will be even more work in a year or two. Today a single dependency may be blocking you from the upgrade. Unless you have a contract with that dependency's maintainer, there's no guarantee of the situation ever improving. Soon you may not be able to add a dependency because it will require a newer version of Django. Anecdotal evidence: we have an internal policy of not supporting Django versions older than the current LTS unless we have someone paying for the effort. As for the LTS policy: I don't think the current one cuts it. There are companies who are fine with upgrading once every two years but these companies could probably also do it every release or two. Then there are companies who want LTS support and these are often projects that need to run largely unmodified for five to ten years. I don't think the current LTS support helps them in any way. I think a better option (for both sides) would be if the foundation offered paid support for the releases nominated as LTS and if that support became more expensive every year (to compensate for having to maintain outdated software and to motivate the company to eventually allocate the budget to a proper upgrade). Paid support could also include features like early vulnerability disclosure and instructions for determining whether an issue was exploitable in a particular project. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
