I'm not actually sure it's that realistic to get Pinax 0.9 final out soon after Django 1.2. We simply haven't made enough progress on Pinax. We haven't even incorporated a lot of the work done at DjangoCon yet. I fully agree with going to 1.2, though. I just don't think it's realistic that we'll get Pinax 0.9 final out any time soon. > My proposal is that we move to running Django 1.2 trunk in master as soon as > we can.

We need to rethink tagging across all of Pinax anyway. It's a complete mess at the moment with some projects needing 3 different apps to get tags.
