When 1.8 isn't even in experimental so that packages using django can even test with the new major release, it is not a good idea to cause the possible removal of reverse dependencies or trigger bugs in reverse dependencies. Those reverse dependencies have not had time to get any changes for django1.8 into testing. This would be particularly difficult when those upstreams are also trying to retain support for 1.6 in Trusty. Please do not unblock python-django - 1.8 can always go in via backports. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
