If I may weigh in on the matter as an outsider, if we consider "The Django
Project" as a "business", insofar as it aims to have as many users and be
as ubiquitous as possible, there's considerable value in having MSSQL
included in core. If it were up to me, I would develop on Linux using
postgres and host everything on Heroku, but at work I'm restricted to
corporate rules, MS SQL or Oracle, and Windows.

I have a strong feeling that by embracing Windows as a first-class platform
for developing and running Django, we're enabling current and future users
to easily integrate the framework in existent business infrastructure,
which can only be seen as a good thing for the project.


Cheers,
