I am not aware of any real world incopatibiliity, but I am hesitant to say we should support something outside of the dependency tree of someting we are utilizing. Django's codebase in 1.8 could make some assumptions for it's PostgreSQL connection to be utilizing a server >= 9.0, and could have unpredictable behavior when connecting to a PostgreSQL 8.4 server. At least by utilizing Django 1.7 for PostgreSQL 8.4 installs, we will have predictable behaviors. This is pure speculation at this point, but is a reasonable assumption in my opinion.
