No. Django encourages the use of third-party applications. The problem in this area is MySQL. They apparently haven't discovered that the world has timezones yet and that any datetime without a timezone is broken, so they don't have a timezone-aware datetime field. Since MySQL is a fully supported database in Django, it makes having a timezone-aware field in core quite a tricky proposition. Not that that will prevent us eventually adding one, but it's not amazingly high priority as writing custom fields is pretty easy these days.
