+1 Mezzanine's Readme is, at the time of writing, 795 lines long - pretty much an essay! The GH Readme for Django itself is short and sweet at just 44 lines. That's a massive 94% reduction in lines.
If you are looking for a python CMS to use, you want to read about 3 key features of Mezzanine that make it stand out from all the others, that's all. Then one could link to the Mezzanine website and documentation website for further details and even for installation steps etc. Just my thoughts. Interesting to hear what the core devs think...
